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.
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 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.
