   - Non-Bluetooth GX devices require a USB Bluetooth dongle to enable the Bluetooth sensors
   - Ekrano GX power draw in detail: Display on 6.2W @ 12V | 6.6W @ 24V | 7.4W @ 48V Display off 2.6W 12V | 3.0W @ 24V | 3.7W @ 48V
-  - In 2023/2024, an updated version of the Cerbo GX was released, the Cerbo GX MK2. It has the same enclosure and almost the same electronics design; except for **(A)** two fully functional CAN bus ports, called VE.Can 1 and VE.Can 2. Instead of one VE.Can and one dedicated BMS-Can port. And on the MK2 model, VE.Can 1 is isolated. On previous models, there was no isolated canbus port. All VE.Can ports can be configured to multiple profiles, including BMS-Can. **(B)** the RJ-45 sockets have been rotated 180 degrees, so its easier to take the cables out. **(C)** All three USB ports are fully functional. Instead of two functional and one for power, to a GX Touch, only. **(D)** Digital inputs can do pulse counting. Further details [[https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/245954/cerbo-gx-mk2-what-are-the-differences.html|here]]. \\ \\ Identification: BPP900450100 is the first generation Cerbo GX. And both BPP900450110 and BPP900451100 are the Cerbo GX MK2. The latter to are completely identical, the only difference is country of origin, India versus Malaysia. \\ \\ The Cerbo GX MK2 revision is most valuable for some very specific applications. Such as the RV market in the US where a Lynx Smart BMS is installed, requires a VE.Can connection, as well as an RV-C port is required. And VE.Can and RV-C can not run on the same CAN network. Also for marine installations it offers an advantage when integrated into the NMEA2000 network, due to the VE.Can 1 port being galvanically isolated.
