This kit is a starter kit for storing excess energy from an existing grid-tied solar PV installation, or for storing cheap night-time energy (off-peak tarifs e.g. Octopus) for use during the day and peak tarif times.
More battery modules can be added at any time, and AC coupled or DC coupled solar PV can also be added to further decrease consumption from the grid, saving even more off your bills.
For Victron and Pylontech systems, please check the following manual link
**The screen is optional, as is the MK3 to USB lead, although this lead is highly recommended to enable easier programming.**
Please use a dimension of 4U per module when sizing a cabinet for these batteries.

The MultiPlus-II combines the functions of the MultiPlus and the MultiGrid.
It has all the features of the MultiPlus, plus an external current transformer option to implement PowerControl and PowerAssist and to optimize self-consumption with external current sensing (max. 32A). It also has all the features of the MultiGrid with built-in anti-islanding and an increasingly long list of country approvals.
The MultiPlus-II will prevent overload of a limited AC source, such as a generator or shore power connection. First, battery charging will automatically be reduced when otherwise an overload would occur. The second level will boost the output of a generator or shore side supply with power taken from the battery.
The MultiPlus-II is the key component in a Victron ESS system, providing the flexibility to combine with MPPT Solar Chargers or Grid-tie PV Inverters. For examples and more detailed information see the ESS (Energy Storage System) manual.
In the event of a grid failure, or when shore or generator power is disconnected, the inverter within the Multi is automatically activated and takes over the supply to the connected loads. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption.
Monitor and control your Multi and system or systems' locally (LAN) or remotely via the internet from anywhere in the world, using the free VRM app and free VRM portal website. Access can be from a phone, tablet, laptop or PC for multiple operating systems. There is no end to the level of control, via the required Color Control GX or Venus GX, from adjusting your Multi to auto starting a back generator and more...
The GX Touch 50 is the display accessory for our Cerbo GX. The five inch a touch screen display gives an instant overview of your system and allows to adjust settings in the blink of an eye. Simply connected to the Cerbo GX with one cable, its super slim waterproof design, top-mountable setup and its simple installation bring a lot of flexibility when creating a crisp and clean dashboard.
The display comes with a 2m long HDMI and USB cable for connection to the Cerbo GX.
The Victron Cerbo is the all-new communication-centre allowing you to always have perfect control over your system from wherever you are and maximises its performance. Simply connect through our Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal, or access directly, using the separate GX Touch 50, a MFD or our VictronConnect app thanks to its added Bluetooth capability. This latest addition to the GX-range combines all the best of connectivity, redefining smart power solutions in every way.
The ET112 (for single phase max. 100A) Energy Meters are typically used in an Energy Storage System.
To measure the power and energy of the whole application at the distribution box. Or to measure the output of a PV Inverter, to display the data on the Color Control GX and the VRM Portal.
Communication cable for use with equipment that requires ethernet RJ45 cables, also known as ethernet cable. This model is 20 metres long, blue in colour and the connections are booted - partially covered as per image.
Suitable for applications such as connecting remote displays to MPPT charge controllers(EPever), interconnection of Victron inverters to form a master slave comms network, interconnection of Victron Can Bus MPPT charge controllers, Interconnection of SMA communications network. Many other applications/
Victron MK3-USB Configuration Interface
The MK3-USB allows the following products to connect to a computer for configuration and firmware updates using the Victron VE Configure software
Multi, MultiGrid, MultiPlus, MultiPlus-II, Quattro, Inverter/Charger settings in ECOmulti, EasySolar, EasyPlus, and other Inverters with a VE.Bus communication port.
Counsider purchasing a Cat 5 ethernet cable to go with this product if you don't already have one. You won't be able to connect the MK3 interface to an inverter product without an ethernet cable.
Supported Platforms
The VEConfigure tools are only available for Windows. For Mac, there is a (not officially supported) work around available.
The RS485 to USB interface connects products such as the energy meters to a Victron GX device for communication. This model is 5 metres long.
This interface can also be used to update the firmware on certain models of BYD battery.
**Please note: these fuse holders are designed to be opened in a specific way (see attached diagram in downloads section for guidance). Failure to follow the correct method will result in damage to the fuse holder, which is not covered by warranty.**
One pole fuse holder for NH type fuses, suitable for protecting and isolating cables between the battery and inverter or charge controller and battery. Integrated handle enabling use as an isolator.

Pylon battery cable accessory kit for use with all the different battery models. Each battery unit includes the interlink battery cables for parallel connection to another battery, whereas this pack is for connecting to the inverter/charger.
Please check the number of cable packs you need, according to your inverter/charge specifications. Each cable pack is rated at 100A continuous, and 125A peak.
This cable pack includes the following cables:
2 x 2m long power cables (1x positive and 1x negative) The cables are 25mm² and have an M8 eyelet on one end of each cable.
Use this cable to connect a CAN-bus enabled battery, not from Victron, to a Victron system. Types A - normally for Pylontech C series batteries and BYD battery applications. Please review the battery manual for details on which cable to use for which brand/model of battery.
The GX Touch wall mount accessory allows easy mounting of the GX Touch on a solid wall. No drilling or cut-out is required, other than the three screws that fix the wall mount onto the wall.
Communications cable for use with equipment that requires ethernet RJ45 cables. This model is 3 metres long, blue in colour and the connections are booted - partially covered as per image.
