I've been using outback VFX inverters since 2006 or so, and they are utterly reliable, I don't really want to change at the moment. I currently use a flexnet DC for %SOC monitoring and after months of tweaking, it tracks the batrium %SOC near enough perfectly. This %SOC is then used to start/stop my genset using Outback's AGS feature.
I assume that a better way going forward would be to use a Victron Cerbus GX, which will talk natively to my new battery bank (I'm building up a Seplos Mason 280 using EVE 304K cells) to control my genset and leave the outback just to do charging? Unfortunately the outback stuff is too old to talk to any LFP batteries, irrespective of protocol.
Despite my best efforts at research, I can't find if the Seplos BMS has the ability to do relay output based on on %SOC that could easily be used for generator start control.
