The solar is overpanelled to approx 120% giving you more production in the early and later part of the day while clipping in the middle of the day. This is an effective strategy to increase the value of solar systems.

Our battery features 2 Amps of Active cell balancing which we now regard as very important for large cell batteries.
Reports are coming in very often that many batteries are having balancing issues. Our battery ensures a much longer lifespan.

Additional components, PV combiner box, cabling, and circuit protection is required for a fully functioning Victron System.
This system, requires consideration of the current of parallel solar array configuration, which will require a PV combiner box to ensure currents are not exceeded through the PV cable

You can install a Victron MultiPlus-II 48/5000 inverter and an MPPT 250/85 charge controller without using a Cerbo GX. These devices are designed to operate independently, managing power conversion and solar charging functions on their own. However, integrating a Cerbo GX or similar GX device enhances system monitoring and control capabilities, providing a centralized interface for real-time data and configuration adjustments. In most cases its advised to install a Cerbo and a Lynx Distributor to ensure the optimal management and safety.

Without a Cerbo GX, you’ll need to configure and monitor each component separately, which may limit your ability to optimize system performance and access advanced features. For instance, firmware updates and detailed performance analytics are more accessible with a GX device. Therefore, while not strictly necessary, incorporating a Cerbo GX can significantly enhance the functionality and user experience of your Victron energy system.

We have provided the Victron Solar MPPT Calculator Charts for some regions of Australia, These are to be used as a rough estimate. As they are often incorrect, but can give some idea to how much power this bundle could generate if installed in an optimal way. (eg, perfect panel alignment and installed by a competent and qualified expert electrical professional)

Here are the practical ways it manages a lithium battery with no Cerbo:“Dumb” lithium (no comms)

Program the Multi with VE.Configure (via MK3-USB): choose Lithium profile, set Absorption ~56.0–56.8 V, Float ~54.0–54.4 V, disable Equalize, short Absorption (e.g., 30–60 min) and use Tail Current to exit early.

Limit Charge Current to what the pack can accept (e.g., ≤0.5 C total across all chargers).The pack’s internal BMS is the safety net (it will open on over/under-voltage or low temp). For cold-charge protection, add a simple thermostat or BMS relay to the Multi’s Remote on/off so charging is inhibited below 0 °C.

For accurate SoC, add a SmartShunt (optional, but recommended). Or buy a cerbo which will directly communicate with the Battery BMS to ensure optimal configuration

What you miss without a Cerbo

No DVCC (the “live” charge-voltage/current limits sent from smart batteries), no automatic low-temperature charge block from the BMS, no per-second dynamic current limiting, no ESS/self-consumption control, no VRM portal monitoring, and no CAN-battery integrations (e.g., Pylontech/BYD) since the Cerbo is the translator. Many CAN-bus lithium brands expect a GX device for full compatibility & warranty.

Bottom line

Yes, it can work on its own. Configure it as a generic LiFePO₄ profile (plus an additional cold-charge inhibit)
If you’re using a CAN-enabled rack battery (Like ours which has a Victron protocol built into the BMS, or a Pylontech, BYD, etc.) or doing grid-tie ESS, add a Cerbo for proper comms, DVCC, and control.
