Description

The Victron Lynx Smart BMS 1000 is the battery management heart of a larger Victron lithium DC system. It manages a bank of Victron Lithium Battery Smart (LiFePO4) batteries by monitoring every cell, and it protects the bank through a built-in 1000 A safety contactor that disconnects loads or chargers if the primary controls fail. Up to 20 batteries can be combined for a 12 V, 24 V or 48 V system, and the higher current rating suits installations with powerful inverter/chargers and heavy DC loads.

Beyond protection, the BMS is a complete control and monitoring hub. A built-in battery monitor reports state of charge, voltage, current and historical data in real time, with Instant Readout over Bluetooth for diagnostics at a glance. Allowed-to-charge (ATC) and allowed-to-discharge (ATD) contacts switch external chargers and loads, while DVCC closed-loop control automatically manages compatible Victron inverter/chargers and solar chargers through a connected GX device.

The Lynx Smart BMS slots directly onto the Lynx Distributor busbar system, monitoring the fuses of up to four connected Lynx Distributors and feeding data to a GX device and the VRM portal. A pre-charge circuit handles capacitive loads such as inverters without external pre-charging, a programmable relay and AUX supply add flexibility, and VE.Can with NMEA 2000 output makes integration into a marine network simple. This version uses an M10 busbar connection and is not for use with the newer NG series batteries.

What does a BMS actually do in a Victron lithium system?
It is the management and safety brain of the battery bank. The Lynx Smart BMS monitors the cells in the connected Victron Lithium Battery Smart batteries, keeps a built-in battery monitor running for state of charge and current, signals chargers and loads through its allowed-to-charge and allowed-to-discharge contacts, and, as a last line of defence, opens a built-in 1000 A contactor to physically disconnect the bank if anything goes wrong.
Which batteries is this version compatible with?
This model is for the original Victron Lithium Battery Smart (and Lithium Battery Pro) LiFePO4 batteries, up to 20 in a single system for 12, 24 or 48 V. It is not for the newer NG series batteries, which use the Lynx Smart BMS NG instead.
Should I choose the 1000 A version?
The 1000 A rating is the continuous current the built-in contactor can carry. Choose it for larger systems where the combined continuous current of inverter/chargers and DC loads through the bank approaches or exceeds the 500 A version. This model uses an M10 busbar connection.
How does the pre-charge circuit help?
When you connect a capacitive load such as a MultiPlus, Quattro or other inverter, the inrush current can be very high. The built-in pre-charge circuit limits that inrush before the main contactor closes, so you do not need a separate external pre-charge device.
Can I read the BMS data on a marine MFD?
Yes. The Lynx Smart BMS communicates over VE.Can, and because the CAN-bus protocol is based on NMEA 2000 it integrates into a marine network. Feeding data to a compatible MFD requires a VE.Can to NMEA 2000 micro-C male cable. You can also monitor over Bluetooth in VictronConnect or through a GX device and the VRM portal.
Does it work with the Lynx Distributor busbar system?
Yes. The Lynx Smart BMS slots directly onto the Lynx busbar and monitors the fuses of up to four connected Lynx Distributors, reporting a blown-fuse alarm in VictronConnect or on a GX device.
