1. Introduction
1.1. The Lynx Smart BMS
The Lynx Smart BMS is a dedicated Battery Management System for Victron Lithium Battery Smart batteries available with a nominal voltage of 12.8V or 25.6V in various capacities. This is the safest of the mainstream lithium battery types. They can be connected in series, parallel and series/parallel so that a battery bank can be built for system voltages of 12V, 24V or 48V. Up to four 12.8V batteries or two 25.6V batteries can be connected in series. A total of 20 batteries can be connected, resulting in energy storage of up to 84kWh in a 12V system or up to 102kWh in a 24V and 48V system. The maximum energy storage capacity can be multiplied by paralleling multiple Lynx Smart BMSs, which also ensures redundancy should one battery bank fail.
There are multiple BMS-es available for our Smart Lithium series of batteries, and the Lynx Smart BMS is the most feature rich and complete option. Its main features are:
Built-in 500A or 1000A (for the M10 model) contactor used as a fallback safety mechanism and also suitable as a remote controllable main system switch.
Battery monitor, indicating state of charge percentage and more data.
Pre-alarm signal: provide a warning before the system shuts down due to a low cell voltage.
Bluetooth for use with our VictronConnect App, for setup, monitoring and diagnostic.
Local and remote monitoring using a Victron GX device, for example, the Cerbo GX and our VRM portal.
The Lynx Smart BMS integrates seamlessly into our Lynx Distributor system and is available as a 500A (with M8 busbar) or 1000A (with M10 busbar) version.
