It integrates directly into the Lynx distribution system, providing cell protection, system control and real-time monitoring in a single DIN-rail-compatible unit. Suited to professional off-grid, marine and vehicle installations where lithium battery protection and system integration are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum continuous DC current rating of 500A, suitable for high-capacity lithium battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM8 busbar connection points for secure, low-resistance connections in the Lynx distribution system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated cell balancing and protection functions including over-voltage, under-voltage, over-temperature and short-circuit protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommunicates via VE.Can to Victron system components including Multis, Quattros, inverters and the GX device range for full system integration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls charge sources and loads directly, disconnecting them automatically when battery limits are reached.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Victron VRM portal for remote monitoring and system diagnostics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports pre-alarm outputs to give advance warning before a full battery disconnect occurs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to mount directly in the Lynx system alongside Lynx Distributors, Lynx Power In and Lynx Shunt modules.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lynx Smart BMS 500 replaces the need for a separate BMS and DC distribution enclosure in lithium battery installations. It sits within the Lynx modular busbar system, keeping the DC distribution compact and the wiring straightforward. The 500A rating covers most residential, commercial off-grid and larger marine or vehicle installations running Victron lithium batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCommunication is handled over VE.Can, which means the BMS can instruct connected Victron inverter\/chargers and MPPT solar charge controllers to reduce or stop charging when the battery reaches its upper voltage limit, and to shed loads or shut down when the lower limit is approached. This closed-loop control is more reliable than relay-based systems because it acts before a hard disconnect is needed, reducing stress on the battery and connected equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pre-alarm function is particularly useful in live systems: it gives the GX device and connected equipment advance notice of an impending disconnect, allowing a controlled shutdown rather than an abrupt power loss. All data is visible through the Victron GX device and the VRM online portal, giving installers and end users full visibility of battery state, cell voltages and system status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border: 2px solid #f87c24; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f87c24; color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eLYN034160200\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eMaximum Continuous Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e500A\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eM8 busbar\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCommunication\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eVE.Can\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCompatible Battery Chemistry\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eVictron LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSystem Voltages\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e12V, 24V, 48V\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e2 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGTIN\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e8719076047476\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid solar systems using Victron lithium battery banks requiring integrated BMS and DC distribution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine installations where compact, reliable lithium battery management is required alongside Victron inverter\/chargers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge vehicle and motorhome builds using Victron Lynx modular DC distribution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommercial and industrial off-grid systems with high DC current demands up to 500A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHybrid solar systems where the BMS needs to communicate directly with Victron MPPT controllers and Multis or Quattros.\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 Victron Lynx Smart BMS 500 (M8) unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lynx Smart BMS 500 must be installed by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator familiar with high-current DC lithium battery systems. Incorrect installation in a lithium battery system can result in fire, equipment damage or personal injury. VE.Can network configuration requires a compatible Victron GX device. Ensure all Lynx system modules are correctly torqued to the M8 busbars and that the VE.Can bus is properly terminated at both ends.
