The Victron Lynx Smart BMS 500 (M8) is a battery management system made for Victron Lithium Smart Batteries. It supports 12 V, 24 V or 48 V systems and is rated for 500 A continuous, with a 600 A peak for 5 minutes. Busbar connections are M8, on a bar measuring 8mm x 30mm. The case is rated IP22. In off mode it draws 0.3 mA.
Our take
The 500 A continuous rating, with a 600 A peak for 5 minutes, sets the size of system this BMS can serve, and it supports 12, 24 or 48 V. It has no reverse polarity protection, so battery cables must be connected with care.
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.
