Description
xVictron Lynx Smart BMS 500 NG (M10)
The Lynx Smart BMS 500 NG is a battery management system designed for use with Victron Lithium Smart batteries in 12V, 24V and 48V systems. It integrates directly into the Lynx distribution bus, combining cell balancing, protection and system control in a single unit. Intended for professional off-grid, marine and vehicle installations where lithium battery management must be centralised and reliable.
Key Features
- Rated for up to 500A continuous DC current, suitable for high-demand systems.
- M10 busbar connections provide a secure, low-resistance interface with the Lynx distribution system.
- Integrated pre-charge circuit protects inverters and other loads from inrush current at startup.
- Communicates over VE.Can, enabling full integration with Victron GX devices and the VictronConnect app.
- Controls charge sources and loads directly via BMS signal outputs, removing the need for separate relay modules in many installations.
- Monitors individual cell voltages and temperatures, triggering protection actions on over-voltage, under-voltage or over-temperature conditions.
- Compatible with Victron Lithium Smart Battery range; supports series and parallel battery configurations.
Product Overview
The Lynx Smart BMS 500 NG mounts directly onto the Lynx busbar system, sitting between the battery bank and the rest of the DC distribution. This physical integration keeps wiring tidy and reduces the number of separate components required in a lithium installation. The 500A rating covers most residential off-grid and larger marine or vehicle applications without requiring parallel BMS units.
Communication over VE.Can means the BMS feeds real-time data to any connected GX device, including state of charge, cell voltages, temperatures and alarm states. This data is visible in VRM and through VictronConnect, giving installers and end users a clear picture of battery health. The BMS also issues charge and load disconnect signals, which compatible Victron inverter/chargers and MPPT controllers respond to automatically, without additional programming.
The NG designation indicates this is the next-generation variant, replacing the earlier Lynx BMS. The M10 suffix refers to the M10 bolt size used on the busbar connections. Installers upgrading from the previous generation should verify mechanical compatibility with their existing Lynx components before ordering.

Installation Notes
The Lynx Smart BMS 500 NG must be installed by a qualified electrician with experience in lithium battery systems and Victron equipment. High DC currents at battery voltages present a serious risk of arc flash and fire if connections are made incorrectly. VE.Can termination resistors must be correctly configured when integrating with other VE.Can devices. The BMS is designed for use with Victron Lithium Smart batteries only; compatibility with third-party lithium cells is not confirmed by the provided data and should not be assumed.
