It combines DC distribution, cell balancing control and system protection into a single DIN-rail compatible unit, rated to 500A continuous. It is intended for installers building high-current 12V, 24V or 48V lithium battery systems where centralised BMS control and VE.Can integration are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e500A continuous DC current rating with M8 busbar connections for high-current battery banks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned specifically for Victron lithium smart batteries with integrated cell monitoring and protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVE.Can interface for full integration with GX devices, Cerbo GX and the wider Victron ecosystem\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls pre-charge, charge disconnect and load disconnect functions directly from the BMS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProvides system-level protection against over-voltage, under-voltage, over-temperature and short circuit conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with the Lynx Distributor and Lynx Power In modules for modular DC distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth connectivity via the VictronConnect app for configuration and monitoring\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 sits at the heart of a Victron lithium battery system, acting as the central protection and control unit for the battery bank. Unlike a standalone BMS fitted inside each battery, this unit manages the entire bank as a system, communicating with individual Victron lithium smart batteries over VE.Can and coordinating charge and load disconnect signals across the installation. The M8 busbar connections accommodate the heavy cable cross-sections needed at 500A, making it suitable for large battery banks in demanding applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntegration with GX devices is a key practical advantage. The Lynx Smart BMS 500 reports cell voltages, state of charge, temperature and alarm states directly to the Cerbo GX or Venus GX, which then communicates this data to inverter\/chargers and MPPT controllers. This means the entire system responds correctly to battery conditions without manual intervention or separate relay wiring. The unit also handles pre-charge of inverter capacitors automatically, reducing the risk of connection damage during system startup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lynx product family is modular. The Lynx Smart BMS 500 can be combined with Lynx Distributor fuse modules and Lynx Power In units to build a complete, expandable DC distribution assembly. This approach keeps high-current connections organised, fused and clearly documented, which is important for compliance and serviceability in professional installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: LYN034160200\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076047476\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContinuous current rating: 500A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnection type: M8 busbar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommunication: VE.Can, Bluetooth (VictronConnect)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible batteries: Victron lithium smart batteries (LiFePO4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge off-grid solar installations with Victron lithium battery banks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine vessels requiring centralised lithium BMS control and DC distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVehicle and motorhome conversions with high-capacity lithium systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommercial and industrial off-grid power systems using Victron MultiPlus or Quattro inverter\/chargers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModular DC distribution boards built around the Lynx product family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron 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 accredited installer with experience in high-current DC lithium battery systems. At 500A, incorrect wiring or inadequate cable sizing presents a serious risk of fire or equipment damage. The unit requires VE.Can connection to a compatible GX device for full functionality. Ensure all Victron lithium smart batteries in the bank are compatible with the Lynx Smart BMS before commissioning. Bluetooth configuration via VictronConnect is required during initial setup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47632601219363,"sku":"LYN034160200","price":494.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/9001\/4243\/files\/victron-lynx-smart-bms-500-lyn034160200-399410.jpg?v=1789116069","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.eu\/products\/victron-lynx-smart-bms-500-m8","provider":"VoltaconSolar EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
