Great quality and more functionality than I expected. - Bought this used for about half price. My primary uses are for emergency battery bank disconnect and the shunt. My power plant is almost all Victron gear, and this device replaces my BMV 712. The Good: - seamlessly integrates shunt between lynx power in and distribution bus bars. - adds remote on/off switch capability to disconnect the battery bank. - the pre-charge feature prevents BMS on non Victron batteries from disconnecting. - allows DVCC to manage charge amperage to batteries. - 500A capacity is more than needed, with room to grow. - same superior quality and integration I’ve come to rely on for my off grid system. The “Cons” (of using out of spec) - requires the 3pin connector cable as jumper to allow load if not using Victron batteries. (I don’t have Victron batteries and didn’t buy this for its BMS capability.) Misc. thoughts: I was on the fence about buying this for a couple years. Wasn’t sure I could get enough functionality for the cost. Now that I’ve got it, it does more than I hoped (gets DVCC playing very nicely). Huge relief knowing the one emergency stop switch turns off the Multi’s, the MPPT RS, and disconnects the battery bank in case of emergency. (Now to find a decal since I had to mount it upside down 🤣) Review: High quality - This item is very well made, dependable and safe. ## Features - Victron Energy Lynx Smart BMS is a dedicated Battery Management System for Victron Energy Lithium Smart Batteries - Built-in 500A contactor, used as a fall-back safety mechanism and also available as a remote controllable main systems switch - Bluetooth for use with our VictronConnect App, for setup and monitoring - Battery monitor, indicating state of charge percentage and more data - Pre-alarm signal: provide a warning before the system shuts down due to -for example- a low cell - Local and remote monitoring using a Victron Energy GX device ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09FYHNKFB | | Assembly required | No | | Batteries | 500 A batteries required. | | Batteries required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #139,767 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #1,251 in Solar & Wind Power Parts & Accessories | | Customer Reviews | 5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars (10) | | Department | unisex-adult | | Import | Made in the USA | | Included Components | Victron Lynx Smart BMS 500 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 4.18 pounds | | Item model number | NT-1348 | | Manufacturer | Victron Energy | | Product Dimensions | 3.15 x 7.09 x 7.48 inches | | Specifications | CE | | Volume | 5242 Milliliters | | Warranty Description | Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Victron Energy - **Color:** Blue - **Item Weight:** 1.9 Kilograms - **Output Voltage:** 48 Volts (DC) - **Specification Met:** CE ## Images ![Lynx Smart BMS 500 M8 – Battery Management System for Smart Lithium Batteries, Bluetooth Monitoring, 500A Shunt, Pre-Charge, Contactor, Blue - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7166H56UtzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent bit of kit.
