It pulls every battery, inverter, charger, MPPT, tank sensor, and temperature probe into one live dashboard — viewable on a screen at the helm or in the coach, on your phone via the free VictronConnect app, or from anywhere in the world through the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal. Whether you're parked at a remote site, at anchor, or back home checking on a cabin, the Cerbo GX gives you a clear picture of what your system is doing and the controls to adjust it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe MK3 is the current generation of Victron's Cerbo GX communication centre, succeeding the Cerbo GX MK2. It carries the full connectivity of the Cerbo platform: two functional VE.Can ports (VE.Can 1 galvanically isolated), three VE.Direct ports, three USB host ports, Ethernet, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, four resistive tank inputs, four temperature inputs, and NMEA 2000-out support via VE.Can 2 with the optional Victron cable.

Pair it with a GX Touch 50 in the interior and you have a clean dashboard showing how much solar you're harvesting, how much load you're running, and what state your batteries are in. Remote VRM access is the killer feature for RVers — you can check the battery state while you're away from the rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eMarine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOn a boat, the Cerbo GX is usually mounted at the nav station or in an electrical locker, with a GX Touch display at the helm. Common setups pair it with a MultiPlus or Quattro inverter\/charger, one or more SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers, a SmartShunt battery monitor, and lithium house batteries. NMEA 2000-out support means the same data can show up on your chartplotter — handy for multi-day passages.
