**IMPORTANT UPDATE** One thing I just became aware of is that this particular batter has a 500 amp class T fuse INSIDE of it with an AIC rating of 50k. That's a game changer and something I have never seen before. Please go see Ben Stein's video over at Panbo channel to watch his teardown of this battery.

**Update 1** After receiving the needed cable to complete the daisy chaining of the comm cables we now have the proper communication with the Cerbo GX. Please see this video for instruction on how to hook this up and what you should see in the Cerbo GX. https://youtu.be/pIXSKpi-TRo?si=HGS4lNDCWlTyuIfM

**Update 2** As others have said in the comments the expected way to hook these up would be by daisy chaining the comm cables from one battery to the next and then to the Cerbo GX and terminating ends either via the dip switches of terminator plugs. This would show both batteries on the Device list on the Cerbo. I was not able to do that at this time. I do expect additional info soon regarding that and will update when I have that. But for now the configuration appears to be working fine for me in the interim. I have some additional cables and other items on order to try additional configurations. I will add more info later.

** Update 3** My Lynx Power In actually does have fuses. Apparently they dont come that way. I purchased this stuff used so the previous installed must have added the extra parts needed. I must say I do like it this way. However if I plan to use them I will need to add sheathing to the cables as per ABYC

I need to first put two disclaimers on this video.
1) I apologize for the quality of this video. Its choppy and a bit disjointed. Normally I would refine the information and go through a process to attempt to make a halfway watchable video. Unfortunately due to several factors and a computer that no longer wants to process large amounts of footage I was forced to put this version out. However I decided to publish anyways since many have asked me to show my progress with the Epoch 460AH batteries with the Victron components. My hope is to simply help others along and share the little bit of info I have gathered.

2) Please do not take this information as correct. You must do your own research and come to your own conclusions prior to making any purchases or installing your own equipment. Systems such as the one shown in this video can be very complex and if not done right, dangerous as well. You will have to form your own mental picture and technical understanding in regards to a complex system such as this. There are many resources to gather this knowledge and you can reach out to Victron and Epoch for additional details.

If you spot something that is incorrect or something that could be refined, by all means please comment below. Even though this video is long and contains lots of information, it is actually the tip of the iceberg as far as Victron capabilities goes. My goal is to simply describe how something like two of the 460ah Epoch batteries will be set up and USED daily on a boat or RV with Victron equipment. With some additional learning and discussion I think we can eventually boil that down to some simple instruction. So feel free to add to this topic. Thanks for watching and I hope you feel more confidant in deploying a similar system for your own uses.
