+This setting is available in the "Settings -> "System Setup" menu on the [[venus-os:start| GX device]].
 Particulars:
-In case a CANBUS-BMS is connected and the BMS requests a maximum charge current that is different from the user-configurable setting, the lower of the two will be used.

+) this mechanism only works for Victron inverter/chargers and Solar chargers. Other chargers, such as Skylla-i’s are not controlled and also their charge current is not taken into account. The same applies for devices that are not connected to the GX device, such as an alternator. Worded differently: the total charge current of the inverter/chargers and all MPPTs will be controlled, nothing else. Any other sources will be extra charge current, unaccounted for even when installing a BMV or other battery monitor.

+) DC Loads are not accounted for. Even when a BMV or other battery monitor is installed. For example, with a configured maximum charge current of 50 Apms, and DC Loads drawing 20 Amps, the battery will be charged with 30 Amps. Not with the full allowed 50 Amps.
-In all situations, the maximum charge limit configured in a device itself, ie. the Charge current limit set with VictronConnect or VEConfigure for the Solar chargers or Inverter/chargers will still be in effect. An example to illustrate: in case there is only an Inverter/charger in the system, and in VEConfigure is charge current is configured to 50 Amps. And on the GX Device, a limit of 100A is configured, then the working limit will be 50 Amps.
