VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS cables manual
1. Introduction
Use this cable to connect a CAN-bus enabled battery to a Victron system.
The side labeled 'CAN-bus BMS' plugs into the battery. The other side, labeled 'VE.Can' must be plugged into the VE.Can port of the Venus-device.
There are two types, each with different pinning. Some brands of batteries require a Type A. Other brands require the Type B cable.
Type A compatible batteries:
- BYD B-Box
Type B compatible batteries:
- LG Chem Resu
- AXIstorage
- BMZ
- Pylontech
2. Pin-out
In some cases it might be needed to make the cable at the location. Find below the pin-outs. Make sure to very carefully test the cable after crimping it. Self-made cables are very often the causes of very hard to diagnose problems.
