I'm a sucker for data, stats, graphs and spreadsheets.I just really like the screen and the information it has. Do I need it, NO!. Do I now want it, YES!

That's a proper set up!Think I will need your help when it arrives.
Most of the new equipment will be mounted on that board that will live beside the LB.
The victron MPPT is going where the existing solar controller is in the rear cupboard beside the Sargent.
But it’s easy to run cables from here to the LB.
I’m retaining the Sargent for the fuses for the whole 12v system but I will disable the charger on it and fit the victron one I’ve bought.
The victron charger will be hard wired and I will just need to plug the cable from it into a socket to charge the LB when on EHU.
I’m also hard wiring the EcoFlow 800w charger in there to quick charge my Delta 2.
The 2 cables from these will be clipped up and easy accessed from the main cupboard below my sink.
I’m installing a sub and amp under my drivers seat too as well as my reverse camera.
I can’t wait to get it all fitted.

When you have bought all the gear I can give you a hand installing.I'm a sucker for data, stats, graphs and spreadsheets.![]()
So I need 2 sets of these cables Paul?Don't forget the VE Direct cables to connect the Orion and MPPT to Cerbo
No Gord, just one for each device. Available in different lengths.So I need 2 sets of these cables Paul?
One set for Orion and one for MPPT?
I feel i'll be shortly behind you on this once I've done some reading up on it and figuring out what I needThat’s my credit card glowing hot again
I’m holding this forum and mainly Paul responsible for this although Wayne’s awfy good at spending my money too
Cerbo GX not the S is on its way and so is the 50 screen.
I can’t see me ever using the additional tank and temp ports on the GX but it was only £15 dearer than the S and knowing what I’m like I thought the extra £15 was the way to go.
I’m going to wait until it arrives before moving all the bits on my panel to accommodate it.
Once I’m happy with its position I will measure distances to get the correct length cables to hook it up.
I will wait and order the roamer battery cable also.
I’m going to spend some time on my install today.
Main job is running a new 16mm cable from my SB to the LB
How much did you pay for the Cerba GX? Found it for £165 + £7 deliveryThat’s my credit card glowing hot again

Paul, I have a Fogstar too so do I need this 'shunt'? Possible link to one if so?I have a fogstar 230Ah so need the shunt for the SOC. No direct input to the Cerbo like the Roamer smart4.
Which is the link cable please Matt? Is that the VE cable? I have two of those so farView attachment 278581
This is the one I added to my Fogstar Chris. Like Paul says just remember to add the link cable. This needs a double ended male as its socket to socket on the Cerbo. Also monitors my starter battery voltage.
