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
