The Lynx Smart BMS 1000 NG (M10) is a battery management system for Victron Lithium NG batteries. It carries a 1,000 A continuous rating with a 1,200 A peak for 5 minutes, and it supports 12V, 24V or 48V systems. A built-in contactor allows remote-controlled main switching, a pre-alarm signal comes ahead of a low cell voltage shutdown, and setup is over Bluetooth through the VictronConnect app. The M10 busbar connects to other Lynx M10 products, and the enclosure is IP22.

Our take

The 1,000 A continuous rating with a 1,200 A five-minute peak sets the size of bank this BMS can switch through its built-in contactor. It is designed specifically for Lithium NG batteries, and its enclosure is only IP22.

From our buying guide

BCI defines a battery management system as an electronic system that monitors a battery's condition, performance and health. Some lithium batteries have one built in and some need an external unit.

Check before you buy:

  • Battle Born warns that a BMS shutdown leaves the vessel without power, and that one during alternator charging can severely damage the alternator.
  • There is no one low-temperature limit for charging lithium, so take it from the manual for the battery you have.
