Lithium-ion batteries
Victron-NG or LiFePO4 Smart batteries
When using Victron LiFePO4 batteries, the system will need to be wired using a compatible Victron BMS.
Lynx Smart BMS NG
This BMS is recommended when also using a GX device in the system. It is connected via the VE.Can bus interface. Note when using this BMS set the Remote Mode to Remote on/off when commissioning the product in VictronConnect.
Small BMS NG
This BMS is connected to the Multi RS using the allow to charge, and allow to discharge contacts from the Victron smallBMS NG to the I/O connection port of the Multi RS. Note when using this BMS configure for Remote Mode 2-wire BMS when commissioning the product in VictronConnect.
Compatible BMS-Can lithium batteries
Compatible BMS-Can lithium batteries can be used with the Multi RS however it is a requirement that those batteries are connected via the BMS-Can port of the GX device (such as the Cerbo GX), and not to the Multi RS communications interface directly. See the Victron Battery Compatibility Guide for more specific information.
