+You can use the Lynx Distributor or Lynx Power In without the Lynx Shunt.

 The Lynx shunt contains a positive bus-bar with space to mount a fuse and a negative bus-bar with a shunt.
-It also contains battery monitor electronics. The Lynx shunt can send via the VE.CAN bus battery motoring information to a CCGX or VGX or to a third party can bus monitoring system, such as a NMEA2000 (check with Johannes). The CCGX, VGX or third party display acts as battery monitor display and is also used to set up the built-in batter monitor.

+The Lynx shunt is available with a VE.Can connection. A previous model had a VE.Net connection and is now discontinued.

 It is important that in cases where batteries are combined, and there is the opportunity for current to flow from one connection to another in fault, that there is sufficient and robust circuit protection.
+For example, the BYD Lithium IP55 cabinets.
 In this case the 4 module battery cabinets are each protected by individual 85A circuit breakers and also collectively protected by a 125A circuit breaker at the cabinet end.

 Without the 125A bus bar MEGA fuse. There is the possibility of the battery take off cables fault that the 125A cabinet circuit breaker trips, but that the fault is continued by the supply of the other batteries (up to their combined 375A) and this exceeds the current rating of the cable to the fault and starts a fire.
-This is an unlikely scenario, but consequences of a fire in an energy storage situation are so serious that it is the required level of protection.
