Arco Zeus Bluetooth alternator regulator now available with Victron DVCC Integration

Pensacola, FL – October 30, 2024 – ARCO Marine, a leader in high-performance electrical solutions for the marine and RV industries, is excited to announce the integration of the ARCO Zeus Bluetooth Alternator Regulator with the renowned Victron DVCC (Distributed Voltage and Current Control) System. This partnership combines advanced technology with user-friendly features, providing customers with enhanced battery management, improved system efficiency, and streamlined control.

Key Benefits of the ARCO Zeus and Victron DVCC Integration:

  • Optimized Charging: The synergy between the ARCO Zeus and Victron DVCC ensures that the alternator’s charging output aligns perfectly with the overall power system. This intelligent integration enables smarter and more responsive charging, effectively balancing alternator output with other energy sources.
  • Prolonged Battery Life: By working seamlessly with the Victron DVCC, the ARCO Zeus guarantees efficient battery charging, extending battery lifespan. The system intelligently adjusts charging voltages to match battery types (AGM, lithium, lead-acid), preventing overcharging and maximizing battery health.
  • Enhanced Power Efficiency: This integration optimizes charge distribution across multiple power sources, including solar, shore power, and alternators. It ensures that each system component contributes efficiently, reducing energy waste and improving fuel economy for marine vessels.
  • Effortless Installation: Connecting the ARCO Zeus to an existing Victron DVCC setup is straightforward. Only a simple shunt on the positive output of the alternator is required for Zeus to monitor, ensuring that all charging devices can contribute effectively to the DVCC System.

System Requirements:



  • GX Devices require VenusOS v3.50 or later
  • ARCO Zeus requires firmware version 1.20
