 There various types of instances, and for marine systems are two that matter: the Device instance and the Data instance. The data instance goes by various different names, like Fluid instance, Battery instance and DC instance.
-Details and differences of each type are explained in detail in the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/media/pg/Cerbo_GX/en/marine-mfd-integration-by-nmea2000.html|Cerbo GX manual, NMEA 2000 chapter]].

 **WARNING**: whilst it is possible to change the Battery and DC instances on a Skylla-i battery charger, changing those will render it impossible for a GX device to properly read the data. This is because the GX device expects the charger's output one to be on Battery & DC instance 0, output two on Battery & DC instance 1, and output three on Battery & DC instance 2. Changing the fluid instance, as well as other data instances for PGNs transmitted by a GX device on a NMEA2000 network using its NMEA2000-out feature, is no problem.

 The only common use case we encounter in testing and support where it is necessary to change instances is with older Raymarine hardware & software:
-    * Raymarine i70: max number of tank levels is 5; fluid instance 0-4.
+    * Raymarine i70: max number of tank levels is 5; fluid instance 0-4 and type must be fuel.
-    * Raymarine i70s: max number of tank levels is 5; fluid instance 0-4.
+    * Raymarine i70s: max number of tank levels is 5; fluid instance 0-4 and type must be fuel.
     * Axiom MFDs: per Lighthouse version 4.1.75, a maximum of 16 tanks can be connected; fluid instance 0-15.
