+Connect multiple SmartSolar charge controllers together in a VE.Smart network to make them charge the battery as if they were one large charger. The chargers will synchronise the charge algorithm between themselves, with no further hardware required. They will simultaneously switch from one charge state to another, for example from bulk to absorption.
 Each unit will (and should) regulate its own output current. Which, among others, depends on the output of each PV array, cable resistance and the configured maximum output current of the charger. As such, it is not possible to configure a 'network-wide' maximum charge current. In case such feature is needed, for example in a system with both an East- and a West-facing PV array and relatively small battery bank, consider using a [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/venus-os:start|GX Device]] and [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start#dvcc_-_distributed_voltage_and_current_control|its DVCC features]].

 Clicking on that icon will show the network status.
+The current LED State will also blink every 4 seconds when a VE.Smart Network is configured and the charger is receiving data.
