 Enabling DVCC changes a GX device from a passive monitor into an active controller.
-For example, in systems with an intelligent CAN-bus BMS battery connected, the GX receives a Charge Voltage Limit (CVL), Charge Current Limit (CCL), Discharge Current Limit (DCL) from that battery and relays that to the connected inverter/chargers and solar chargers. These then disable their internal charge algorithms and simply do what their told by the battery. There is no need to set-up charge voltages or choose the charge algorithm type.

 For systems with lead batteries, DVCC offers features such as a configurable system wide charge current limit and shared temperature sense.
-As also in above example, the available features and effects of enabling DVCC depend on the type of battery used. The also depends on the installed Victron components and their configuration.

 === Firmware versions ===
-Do not use DVCC in cases where these requirements are not met. In all cases we recommend to install the latest available firmware during commissioning. Once running well, there is no need to pro-actively update firmware without reason. In case of trouble, the first action is to update firmware.

 ==== 4.3 DVCC effects on the charge algorithm ====
-Our inverter/chargers and MPPT Solar Chargers use their own internal charge algorithm when in stand alone mode. This means that they determine how long to remain in absorption, when to switch to float, when to switch back to bulk, or storage. And in the various phases they then use the configured parameters in VictronConnect and VEConfigure.

 In certain systems, the internal charge algorithm is disabled, and the charger is then working with an externally controlled charge voltage target.

+  * The ESS ''Keep batteries charged'' mode works properly. It does not without DVCC.
-  * a fixed solar offset of 0.4V is used instead of a variable 2V. (values for 48V systems, divide by 4 for 12V). Note that this solar offset is only applied when ''ESS-mode'' is set to ''Optimized'' in combination with the ''Feed-in excess solar charger power''-setting enabled, or when ''ESS-mode'' is set to ''Keep batteries charged''.

   * Add Auto-recharge feature for the ESS Modes ''Optimized'' and ''Optimized (with BatteryLife)''. The system will automatically recharge the battery (from the grid) when the SOC drops 5% or more below the value of ‘Minimum SOC’ in the ESS menu. Recharge stops when it reaches the Minimum SOC.
   * ESS improved state display: In addition to the charger states (Bulk/Absorption/Float), additional ''Discharging'' and ''Sustain'' modes were added. In addition it also shows reasons for the state it is in:
