Just an FYI the only affiliate he has for Victron equipment is BattleBorn.

@the_colorist is going to try to get an availability date and street price for me.
Thanks guys, after disconnecting our FLA’s and hooking it up to our RV, connect the balance cables and initiating the boost charge in our charge wizard everything appears to be working including the bluetooth. Now just need to dig into the parameter settings.
