Victron Lynx Smart BMS 500

The Victron Lynx Smart BMS 500 (M10) represents the pinnacle of battery management technology, engineered specifically for high-performance Victron Lithium Smart and Next Generation (NG) battery banks. Serving as the intelligent nerve center for the modular Lynx Distribution System, this 500A-rated unit provides comprehensive safety control, real-time diagnostic monitoring, and closed-loop integration to ensure the highest levels of reliability for marine, automotive, and off-grid solar energy installations.

Equipped with a powerful integrated safety contactor and a sophisticated pre-charge circuit, the Lynx Smart BMS 500 effectively eliminates the risks associated with high inrush currents when connecting heavy loads like large inverters. With its advanced connectivity options—including built-in Bluetooth and VE.Can integration—this system allows for effortless local configuration via the VictronConnect App and deep system-level management through Victron GX devices, offering complete visibility and control over your power infrastructure.

The unit's M10 joint bolts make it directly compatible with other M10 Lynx modules - the Lynx Power In and Lynx Distributor - allowing the whole bank to be combined into one continuous, professionally organized busbar rather than a tangle of separate cables. An integrated shunt continuously measures pack voltage, current, and temperature, feeding accurate State of Charge and State of Health data to the connected system.

Monitoring and configuration are handled through the free VictronConnect app over Bluetooth, with no separate display required for basic setup. When paired with a GX device such as the Cerbo GX, the Lynx Smart BMS 500 reports live status, alarms, and historical data to the Victron Remote Management (VRM) Portal, and can automatically request the correct charge and discharge current limits from connected Victron inverters and chargers via DVCC.

Features

Integrated 500A High-Current Safety Contactor

Acts as both a robust hardware-level fallback for critical battery disconnects and a convenient, remote-controllable main power switch for the entire DC system.

Advanced Inrush Current Prevention

Features an intelligent pre-charge circuit that automatically conditions the DC bus before the main contactor engages, protecting your inverters and chargers from damaging current surges during power-up.

Closed-Loop DVCC System Control

When integrated with a GX controller, the BMS utilizes Distributed Voltage and Current Control (DVCC) to dynamically manage compatible solar chargers, DC-DC converters, and inverter/chargers based on real-time cell-level data.

Comprehensive Fuse Status Monitoring

Digitally monitors up to four connected Lynx Distributor modules, allowing you to track all 16 individual fuse positions, receive instant alerts if a fuse blows, and label specific circuits for easier maintenance.

Smart Connectivity Suite

Offers built-in Bluetooth for mobile configuration, VE.Can ports for GX device integration, and NMEA 2000 compatibility via adapter, ensuring total compatibility with marine and industrial data networks.

Proactive Auxiliary Power & Control

Includes an AUX output to keep communication devices powered during shutdowns and dedicated ATC/ATD (Allow-to-Charge/Discharge) dry contacts to manage external equipment safety protocols.
