Launch to Kraken

[Boogie79]

I currently have the Launch with my heater, Sicce 7 and skimmer connected. I know to connect both via command bus but can the Kraken power the launch or do I need to find adapters to move things to the Kraken? I have the WE2 connected to Kraken as well.

The Kraken can only power the brain of the Launch through the command bus port if setup in a Collective. The Hydros Launch has an AC power cord that must be plugged into an AC outlet .

The Kraken will not power anything plugged into the AC outlets on the Launch. For those items , If they are 12v or 24v you can connect them to the Kraken directly .

Things like heaters or AC powered only devices, devices over 24v or under 12v or devices that might be 19v etc. cannot be powered by the Kraken.

I have another question for you.

I have the LifePo4 battery, I've disabled the charging mechanism in the Kraken but how is the battery supposed to charge? (This is my first time working with these batteries and my first saltwater tank). I looked on Amazon and saw a Bluetooth charger that I can get but am I supposed to charge the battery, disconnect the charger, then connect the Kraken or can I keep everything connected?

Kraken isn't equipped to charge a LiFePO4 battery. After disabling the Kraken charging circuit you can connect a LiFePO4 smart charger and leave it connected.
