I ended up returning the batteries and getting the ones with RS485 connections on them. That gives me what I need for proper control

Yeah it seems a bit risky. I've got a smart shunt I can rely on. Appreciate your input

Hey all I wanted to chime in on this discussion to see if there is any possibility of making this work with my set-up. I have just received my 4 Renogy Bluetooth batteries ($499 CDN ea) and I was hoping i could integrate them into my Cerbo but I'm not too sure how to go about it. I know the...

Hey there. I'm going to give this a shot with a Cerbo and see what happens. I'm going to use a generic RS485 to USB interface since it appears the Renogy model is no longer available. I think the problem I am likely to run into is that each battery will somehow need to be assigned an...

Hey Matthew I'm going to take a shot at this in the next few days with a Cerbo GX. I've got 4 Renogy Smart Lithium batteries and hope to connect them on one connection. I've got them daisy chained together with short RJ45 cables and used the Renogy battery monitor to auto-address them with...

Not a great outcome.... A few wins. The USB-485 adapter was recognized. Managed to get dbus serialbattery installed with no issues using puTTY. After noticing the batteries were not showing up on the device list, I ran a few tests. I found that the driver was successfully connecting to...

I agree, bluetooth isn't the best option, but the bluetooth smart batteries don't have a hard wired option or I would go that route. I (incorrectly) made the assumption when I purchased the batteries that they would have the 485 connection, but they do not. I was a bit surprised when I unboxed...
