Venus OS 2.93 -- DragonFly Support

[howson]

In a release from Victron about Venus OS version 2.93:

VE.Can/NMEA2000: Add support for Dragonfly manufacturer code for WS500. This is required for a future change planned by Wakespeed/Dragonfly.

Dragonfly I believe is the parent company that produces Battleborn batteries. So, what that means is that in the near(?) future their batteries will natively interface with Victron equipment. Yea!

Don't get me wrong--I won't replace my batteries just to get this capability but when the time comes it will be a highly desired function.

howson Yes they have been slowly rolling out support for different BMS systems on the batteries that allow you to monitor SOC, cell voltages, etc through the Venus OS (Cerbo, CCGX etc). My home backup uses the SOK which are supported, but I have not connected them up yet due to lack of time. I could definitely see the benefit though.
