It is designed for use in 12V lithium battery systems where the VE.Bus BMS manages cell protection and the BMS 12-200 acts as the alternator-side charge controller. Without this cable, the two units cannot communicate to coordinate charge cutoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDedicated control cable linking the VE.Bus BMS to the BMS 12-200 alternator charger controller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAllows the VE.Bus BMS to signal the BMS 12-200 to stop alternator charging when battery protection thresholds are reached.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug-and-play connection with no additional wiring or configuration required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.11 kg, suitable for compact marine and vehicle installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU ASS030510120, compatible with Victron VE.Bus BMS and BMS 12-200 units.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VE.Bus BMS monitors individual lithium cell voltages and temperatures, and will disconnect loads or charging sources when a cell goes out of range. The BMS 12-200 is Victron's dedicated alternator charge controller for lithium batteries, designed to handle the high current demands of vehicle and marine alternators without damaging the alternator or the battery. This cable is the physical communication link between the two devices, allowing the VE.Bus BMS to assert charge disconnect control over the BMS 12-200.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, this means that if the VE.Bus BMS detects an overvoltage or overtemperature condition on any cell, it can instruct the BMS 12-200 to reduce or stop alternator input before the battery protection relay opens. This protects both the alternator and the lithium cells. The cable is a required accessory for any system that combines these two Victron components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: ASS030510120\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076036463\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.11 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible devices: Victron VE.Bus BMS and BMS 12-200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine vessels with lithium house battery banks charged via engine alternator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhomes and campervans using a VE.Bus BMS with alternator charging through the BMS 12-200.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid vehicle builds requiring coordinated BMS and alternator charge control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAny 12V lithium system combining the Victron VE.Bus BMS and BMS 12-200.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x VE.Bus BMS to BMS 12-200 alternator control cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cable should be installed as part of a complete Victron lithium battery system by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator familiar with Victron BMS architecture.
