Victron Lynx Smart BMS 500 NG (M10)

The Lynx Smart BMS 500 NG (M10) is a cutting-edge Battery Management System tailored for marine and boating applications. Designed to seamlessly integrate with Victron Lithium NG batteries, this BMS ensures optimal performance, safety, and reliability for your onboard energy systems.

Key Features

Built-in 500 A or 1000 A Contactor

• Available in 500 A (M10) and 1000 A (M10) versions
• Provides a secondary safety layer to protect batteries if primary controls (ATC, ATD, DVCC) fail
• Functions as a remote controllable main system switch

Pre-Charge Circuit

• Mitigates high inrush currents when connecting capacitive loads like inverters
• Eliminates the necessity for external pre-charging devices

Monitoring & Control

• Bluetooth connectivity for real-time monitoring and control via the VictronConnect App
• VE.Can compatibility allows integration with GX devices such as Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX and access through the VRM portal
• Displays cell voltages and temperatures on GX devices and the VRM portal
• Built-in battery monitor offers data on state of charge, voltage, current, historical trends, and status information
• Instant Readout provides diagnostics at a glance

DVCC Closed Loop Control and ATC/ATD Contacts

• Automatically manages Victron inverter/chargers, Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC battery chargers, and solar charge controllers via connected GX devices and DVCC
• Utilizes ATC/ATD contacts to control other chargers and loads with remote on/off capabilities

Programmable Relay

• Can function as an alarm relay in conjunction with the pre-alarm or to control an alternator via its external regulator (ignition cable)
• Features Alternator ATC mode for safe alternator disconnection prior to battery disconnects

AUX Terminal

• Includes an onboard auxiliary power supply (1.1 A @ system voltage) to power specific loads (e.g., GX devices) after BMS shutdown
• Automatically shuts down BMS and AUX connection if no charge voltage is detected within 5 minutes following a low voltage event

VE.Can and NMEA 2000 Data Communication

• Facilitates easy connection and communication with GX devices via VE.Can using a standard RJ45 network cable
• Enables integration into marine networks through the NMEA 2000 protocol (requires a VE.Can to NMEA 2000 micro-C male cable)

Lynx Distributor Fuse Monitoring

• Monitors the fuse status of up to 4 connected Lynx Distributors via VictronConnect or GX devices
• Alerts you with alarms in the event of blown fuses

¹Up to 5 BMS units can be paralleled, subject to a firmware update expected in Q3 2024.
