Question 1

will this Balmar alternator temperature sensor work connected to a Victron Cerbo GX? If so, can one sensor feed both the Balmar regulator and Cerbo GX in parallel? It would be great to be able to monitor and log the alternator temperature in the Curb GX if this is compatible? View answer
