 ===== Introduction =====
-MG Energy Systems (MG) develops and produces advanced battery systems for Marine, Solar/off-grid, industrial and mobile applications. The roots of the cooperation with Victron Energy goes back to 2011 when we developed the first Lithium-Ion battery systems and was added to Victron’s product range. A development cooperation were setup to achieve maximum compatibility, performance, functionality and safety between our battery systems and Victron’s inverter/chargers. This close development is still an ongoing process. From Master BMS firmware development with new functions to GX products scripts and GUI to extend functionality and compatibility.

 ===== Products =====
 MG has developed a complete range of products with all the same philosophy to provide modular and scalable solutions from 12 VDC to 800 VDC.
 Each battery system consists out of the following:
-  * One or multiple Master BMS’s (MG Master LV (Lynx Ion BMS) or MG Master HV).
+  * One or multiple Master BMS’s ([[https://www.mgenergysystems.eu/products/mg-master-lv/|MG Master LV]] (Lynx Ion BMS) or [[https://www.mgenergysystems.eu/products/mg-master-hv/|MG Master HV]]).
-  * One or multiple battery modules (HE Series, HP Series, LFP Series, UHE Series, RS Series, E-Rack Series).
+  * One or multiple battery modules ([[https://www.mgenergysystems.eu/products/mg-he-series/|HE Series]], [[https://www.mgenergysystems.eu/products/mg-hp-series/|HP Series]], [[https://www.mgenergysystems.eu/products/mg-lfp-series/|LFP Series]], [[https://www.mgenergysystems.eu/products/mg-uhe-series/|UHE Series]], [[https://www.mgenergysystems.eu/products/mg-rs-series/|RS Series]], [[https://www.mgenergysystems.eu/products/mg-e-rack-series/|E-Rack Series]]).
 Different setups can be created at different voltages and capacities. The most common to connect to Victron equipment is a Master LV in combination with one of the battery module series from 12 VDC to 48 VDC.

 ===== Product compatibility =====
 MG is the only battery system provider that has VE.CAN implemented in the Master BMS. This has the advantage to directly control VE.CAN equipment on this communication bus like VE.CAN MPPT’s and skylla-I’s. Another advantage is that the VE.CAN bus can be connected to the existing NMEA2000 CAN-Bus networks. The default selected mode for the VE.CAN on the GX products (CCGX, Octo GX, Venus GX and CANvu GX) is used.

 Updating the Master LV (Lynx BMS) will also update the battery module connected to it automatically if necessary. This will have the advantage that the battery modules are always compatible with the connected Master LV.

+=== The GX products redundant/combined battery support ===
+Different Master LV’s in one system can be combined in the GX products to see it as one battery.
+{{ :battery_compatibility:ccgx-screen-combines-1.png?nolink&400 |}}
+The combiner can be enabled in the System Setup menu. The Master LV’s (Lynx Ion BMS) which need to be combined can be selected. The new combined battery can be given a new device instance. This will make it also available and can be easily identified on the VRM portal.

+The new combined battery will be created in the device list and can be selected as the battery monitor to have parameter control by DVCC. If one the Master LV’s (Lynx BMS) fails, the system will stay active and keeps operating.
