Victron Lynx Smart BMS 500 Battery MGMT System f/Lithium Smart Batteries Product Description

Victron Energy Lynx Smart BMS 500 Battery Management System - Advanced Lithium Battery Protection and Monitoring

Revolutionize your marine lithium battery system with the Victron Energy Lynx Smart BMS 500, the most comprehensive and feature-rich battery management system designed specifically for Victron Lithium Smart Batteries. This advanced 500-amp BMS combines intelligent battery protection, real-time monitoring, and seamless marine integration to deliver unparalleled safety and performance for modern marine electrical systems.

Advanced Lithium Battery Protection

Multi-Layer Safety Architecture: The Lynx Smart BMS 500 establishes direct communication with lithium batteries through M8 circular connector cables, providing comprehensive protection against overvoltage, undervoltage, overtemperature, and overcurrent conditions that can damage expensive lithium battery investments.

  • Built-in 500A Safety Contactor: Dual-purpose contactor serves as both a fallback safety mechanism and remote controllable main system switch
  • Pre-Alarm Warning System: Advanced notification before system shutdown prevents unexpected power loss and equipment damage
  • Cell-Level Monitoring: Individual cell voltage and temperature monitoring ensures optimal battery health and longevity
  • Secondary Protection: Backup safety system activates when primary controls (ATC, ATD, DVCC) fail to respond

Intelligent Battery Management

Precision Load & Charge Control: Through intuitive "load disconnect" and "charge disconnect" terminals, the BMS proactively regulates power flow, preventing overcharging, over-discharging, and thermal runaway conditions that can compromise lithium battery safety.

Smart Charging Optimization

  • Dynamic Load Management: Automatically disconnects loads when battery voltage drops below safe thresholds
  • Charge Source Control: Manages multiple charging sources including alternators, shore power, and solar systems
  • Temperature Compensation: Adjusts charging parameters based on real-time battery temperature
  • State of Charge Accuracy: Precise SOC calculations prevent over-discharge and extend battery life

Professional Marine Integration

NMEA 2000 Compatible Communication: Built on CAN-bus protocol compatible with NMEA 2000 and J1939 standards, enabling seamless integration with marine multifunction displays and existing vessel networks.

  • Marine Network Integration: Direct data feed to marine MFDs for centralized system monitoring
  • VE.Can Connectivity: Standard RJ45 network cable connection for easy integration with Victron GX devices
  • Bluetooth App Control: Complete system management through VictronConnect mobile application
  • Remote Monitoring: Real-time system data via Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, or other compatible devices

Modular Lynx Distribution System

Scalable Installation Flexibility: As part of Victron's modular Lynx Distribution system, the Smart BMS 500 supports configurations from single-battery applications to complex 20-battery systems with up to 84kWh capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Lynx Smart BMS compatible with all lithium batteries?

No, the Lynx Smart BMS is specifically designed for Victron Lithium Smart Batteries only. It communicates directly with these batteries through M8 circular connector cables and requires Victron's proprietary communication protocol for proper operation.

How many batteries can the Lynx Smart BMS 500 manage?

The Lynx Smart BMS can monitor and manage up to 20 Victron Lithium Smart Batteries in various series and parallel configurations, supporting system voltages of 12V, 24V, or 48V with maximum capacity up to 102 kWh.

Can I integrate this BMS with my existing marine electronics?

Yes, the Lynx Smart BMS uses CAN-bus protocol compatible with NMEA 2000, allowing direct integration with marine multifunction displays and existing vessel networks. It also supports Bluetooth connectivity and Victron GX device integration.

What happens if the main BMS protection fails?

The built-in 500A contactor serves as a secondary safety system that activates when primary controls (ATC, ATD, DVCC) fail to protect the battery. This dual-layer protection ensures maximum safety for your lithium battery investment.

Does the BMS provide power during system shutdown?

Yes, the Lynx Smart BMS features an auxiliary power supply (1.1A at system voltage) that maintains power to critical loads like GX devices even after the main system shuts down due to low battery voltage or other protection events.

Transform your marine electrical system with the intelligence and protection of the Victron Energy Lynx Smart BMS 500. Whether you're upgrading to lithium power for extended cruising, building a new electric propulsion system, or seeking the ultimate in battery management technology, this advanced BMS delivers the safety, monitoring, and integration capabilities that modern marine applications demand.
