VRM Portal improvements
Earlier this week, we've released a big update to the VRM Portal. The date picker on the dashboard is much better. Easily scroll and analyse from day to day or week to week. The Advanced page has the same improved date picker, and has many more improvements making it better suited to analyse & diagnose. For details, see this post on Community.
Venus OS v2.30 – Marine MFD integration and more
Its time! Our previously announced easy integration with Marine MFDs has been released (video) and works with both the Garmin and Navico brands. For details, and all other changes in v2.30, see this blog.
Note that since v2.30, also v2.31 has been released; yesterday.
MultiPlus-II GX in stock
The MultiPlus-II GX 48/3000 is now available in E-Order and shipping. For details, see the recently launched product page which also has the product manual.
120V MultiPlus 12 and 24/3000 are UL458 certified
Good news for the US and Canada, both the 12 and 24V model of our 3000VA MultiPlus 120VAC have been certified for UL458, the Standard for Power Converters/Inverters and Power Converter/Inverter Systems for Land Vehicles and Marine Crafts. It will take a while for the certified and marked units to arrive in stock; ask your sales manager for more details.
Maxi GX documentation available
This new member of the GX product family, is intended for a very specific use case: very large systems, having many MPPT Solar Chargers. Our previous maximum of VE.Direct MPPT Solar Chargers that could be connected to a GX device was 10, on the Octo GX. The Maxi GX increases that maximum to 25, by having a very powerful CPU and 25 VE.Direct sockets. It will make for a much more professional and cleaner installation of these large systems.
Note that it is expected to be a temporary product, solving a temporary problem. Our soon to be launched new series of MPPT Solar Chargers with a VE.Can port will be better suit these large installations. More on that new product later. For now, here is the new Maxi GX product and manual.

NICE TO KNOW
Shackleton & Crew: 8 countries-3500km-5 months
