Victron Lynx Smart BMS 500 (M10) – battery management system

Victron Energy Lynx Smart BMS 500 (M10) is a dedicated battery management system for Victron Lithium Battery Smart batteries with nominal voltages of 12.8 V or 25.6 V. It is designed for 12 V, 24 V and 48 V systems and integrates directly into the modular Lynx DC distribution system.

The built-in 500 A contactor provides a secondary safety mechanism and can also operate as a remotely controlled main system switch. An integrated pre-charge circuit limits high inrush currents when connecting inverters and other capacitive loads, while the built-in battery monitor provides real-time information about voltage, current, state of charge, historical data and system status.

Key benefits

• Designed for Victron Lithium Battery Smart LiFePO4 batteries.
• Supports 12 V, 24 V and 48 V system voltages.
• 500 A continuous rating for the main safety contactor.
• Peak current up to 600 A for a maximum of 5 minutes.
• Built-in contactor for safe system disconnection and remote switching.
• Integrated pre-charge circuit for limiting high inrush currents.
• Pre-alarm signal before shutdown caused by critically low cell voltage.
• Integrated battery monitor with state of charge, voltage, current and historical data.
• Up to 5 Lynx Smart BMS units can be connected in parallel for a redundant system.
• Monitors the fuse status of up to 4 connected Lynx Distributor modules.

Applications

• Campervans, caravans and mobile off-grid electrical systems.
