- | Technical details here: | + | The Redflow ZBM2 battery is a 48V 10kWh DC Zinc-Bromide hybrid flow battery that is installed in parallel-wired DC clusters. It is the worlds smallest commercial flow battery. It uses the Redflow CANbus BMS as the control and communications interface for the battery |

- | Note that the ZCell branded product bundle (Redflow ZBM2 battery inside an external-rated enclosure) has initially been launched in Australia. | + | An overview of the technical specifications of this battery are provided here: |

- | ===== Color Control GX Interface | + | |
- | The Redflow ZCell BMS supports the same canbus protocol connection to the Color Control GX that is used with many Lithium Battery BMS systems. | ||
- | |||
- | So the best and most effective way to interface from a Redflow battery system to the CCGX is to use a canbus connection on the ZCell BMS and to follow the same Color Control GX canbus interface procedure used for any other CAN-bus BMS based battery system. | ||
