Pro Series battery networking
Centralize Epoch Pro Series battery data, mesh multiple batteries together, and connect supported smart power systems through CAN, RS485, LIN, NMEA-2000, RV-C, CIBUS, and compatible inverter protocols.
The Epoch Pro Series Communications Box is the battery data hub for advanced marine, RV, and off-grid lithium systems. It helps compatible Epoch Pro Series batteries communicate as a coordinated bank, supports inverter protocol selection through the Bluetooth app or optional touch screen, and gives installers a cleaner way to integrate battery BMS data with supported monitoring and power-management ecosystems.
A smarter bridge between your Epoch Pro Series batteries and advanced power electronics.
Advanced lithium power systems depend on accurate BMS data. The Epoch Pro Series Communications Box helps compatible Pro Series batteries share system information with supported third-party equipment, making it easier to build a clean, high-visibility energy system for boats, RVs, off-grid cabins, mobile work rigs, and high-end solar storage installations.
In compatible installations, this battery networking hub can support closed-loop communication workflows, protocol selection, battery-bank data sync, and real-time monitoring through supported inverter, marine, and RV display ecosystems.
Epoch lists Victron among the compatible communication ecosystems for this Pro Series comms box. When configured correctly, it can help pass battery data to supported Victron equipment for more precise system visibility and smarter charging behavior.
For marine builders, NMEA-2000 support makes this box a valuable bridge between Pro Series lithium batteries and compatible helm displays, helping boaters view battery status where they already monitor the rest of the vessel.
RV-C support helps advanced RV and overland builders integrate battery data into compatible RV power-management and monitoring systems without relying only on stand-alone battery displays.
When multiple Pro Series batteries are used in a larger bank, the Communications Box helps mesh battery data together for enhanced monitoring and cleaner bank-level visibility.
Configure inverter protocol via Bluetooth app or the optional Pro Series touch screen.
The Pro Series Communications Box is built for installers who want advanced integration without turning a battery bay into a custom electronics project. Connect the appropriate communication cables, select the compatible inverter or network protocol, and use the box as the central handoff point between the Pro battery bank and supported system electronics.
Supported communication categories include CAN, RS485, LIN, NMEA-2000, RV-C, CIBUS, and a broad inverter-protocol list that includes Victron, Schneider, Sol-Ark, Solis, Goodwe, Deye, Growatt, SAJ, Megarevo, INVT, Sermatec, TBB, Sunsynk, SMA, Studer Innotec, Sofar, Voltronic, MPP Solar, Alpha Outback, Phocos, and more.

Communication support, protocol compatibility, and fitment details.
Verify protocol, cabling, and battery compatibility before powering the system.
Communication wiring is system-specific. Before installation, confirm that your batteries are compatible Pro Series models, your inverter or display supports the selected protocol, and your cables match the required pinout and port type. This communication box does not replace fuses, breakers, battery switches, or required circuit protection.
Common questions about Pro Series battery networking, Victron integration, NMEA-2000, RV-C, and system compatibility.
The Epoch Pro Series Communications Box acts as a central battery data hub. It collects BMS communication from compatible Epoch Pro Series batteries and helps translate that data through supported communication protocols, including CAN, RS485, LIN, NMEA-2000, RV-C, CIBUS, and supported inverter protocols, so advanced displays and smart power equipment can monitor the battery bank more accurately.
Not for every installation. If you are using a simple open-loop charger and basic 12V, 24V, 36V, or 48V loads, your batteries may operate without a separate communications box. The Communications Box is recommended when you want enhanced battery networking, inverter protocol selection, third-party monitoring, marine or RV network integration, or more advanced system visibility.
Yes. Epoch lists Victron among the compatible communication ecosystems for this Pro Series Communications Box. In a properly configured system, it can help pass battery data to Victron equipment such as GX-class monitoring platforms. Always use the correct communication cable, inverter protocol setting, and installation guidance for your specific Victron system.
The Communications Box supports NMEA-2000 communication, which is commonly used in marine electronics networks. When connected and configured correctly with compatible equipment, it can help route battery data such as voltage, current, state of charge, and battery status to supported marine displays. Verify display compatibility and network configuration before installation.
The box is designed to mesh compatible Epoch Pro Series batteries together for enhanced monitoring. In a multi-battery bank, the batteries are typically linked through their communication wiring so the system can present more unified battery data. Always follow the Pro Series battery manual for maximum battery count, wiring topology, communication-cable order, and addressing requirements.
This product is intended for Epoch Pro Series battery communication. Do not assume it is compatible with Essentials, Eco, Elite, GC2, or other non-Pro battery lines unless Epoch confirms compatibility for your exact model. Communication ports and pinouts can vary by product family.
