+**Important:** When DVCC is on, the system compares the BMS limits with the settings in VEConfigure or VictronConnect. The system always uses the safer value:
   * **Charge voltage:** the lower value applies. If the BMS CVL is lower than the charger setting, the CVL applies. If the charger setting is lower than the CVL, the charger setting applies.
   * **Discharge shut-down:** the higher voltage applies. If the inverter low-voltage shut-down setting is higher than the BMS limit, the inverter stops at its own setting.
