 Remote updating the Lynx Ion BMS 150A, 400A, 600A and 1000A model is possible. Notes:
   * The firmware library does not have the files. Download the file from [[https://professional.victronenergy.com|Victron Professional]] and use the option to self upload a file.
-  * Make sure that the [[venus-os:start|Venus-device]] is powered on the ''Aux-power output''. That is the only port that will remain powered during the firmware update process. All others (main contactor, and also Allow-to-charge and Allow-to-discharge signals) will disconnect; causing Multis and also loads to switch off. Once the update is completed, the Lynx BMS will restart and restore everything.
