The Nose Knows! To my knowledge, a BMS can not be made to restrict the SCC of a battery. They are electrical devices (Usually MOSFETS) and WILL burn up when their specs are exceeded. SCC is a CATASTOPHIC failure of the battery internals. I find it funny that people are spending thousands...

You could also use an M10/M8 reducer sleeve and an M8 bolt. Official word from Victron is that it would have no ill effect on the SmartShunt's ability to read the current in/out. (The bolt only holds the connected items securely; it does not pass significant current itself.) I went with my...

I received my 300Ah V2 early in January. A SUN ROOM is a room in the house with a lot of windows to let in the sunlight. Currently weather is cold and/or wet, so I'm waiting for warmer/drier conditions before hauling it all to the boat. EPOCH uses a JBD BMS and they communicate with Victron...

This is my plan for replacing our current two 98Ah AGM batteries in a single bank with a 300Ah LFP battery with Victron Comms. It is all still sitting in my sunroom for the time being, but I hope to get up to the boat this spring to get it installed. I was going to go with a Buck-Boost so I...

No, they will talk to a CERBO GX as well. Basically any Victron device with a CAN.BUS.
