Product Details
The Victron Lynx Smart BMS 500 (M10) is a high-current Battery Management System designed specifically for Victron Lithium Smart batteries. Combining busbar, BMS, and VE.Can/VE.Direct connectivity in a single Lynx-compatible module, it protects your lithium battery bank from over-charge, over-discharge, over-temperature, and short circuit while integrating seamlessly into any Victron GX-based system.
Key Features
- 500A continuous current rating — sized for medium to large Victron lithium battery banks
- Full BMS protection: over-charge, over-discharge, over-temperature, short circuit, and cell balancing
- VE.Can and VE.Direct communication — integrates with Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, and Venus GX
- Pre-alarm outputs alert the system before a protection event disconnects loads
- Modular Lynx snap-together design — mounts directly alongside Lynx Power In and Lynx Distributor
- Works exclusively with Victron Lithium Smart batteries (12.8V and 25.6V series)
- IP21 rated enclosure — suitable for battery rooms, switchboards, and vehicle battery compartments

Lynx System Integration
The Lynx product family uses a modular snap-together design — individual Lynx units connect side-by-side to form a clean, safe high-current DC distribution centre. Combine a Lynx Power In, Lynx Distributor, and Lynx Shunt to create a compact, professional battery management hub for your system.
Use Cases
For off-grid solar systems using Victron Lithium Smart batteries, the Lynx Smart BMS 500 provides fully automated cell-level protection that keeps your expensive lithium bank safe under all operating conditions. Pair with a Cerbo GX to monitor individual cell voltages, SoC, and temperature remotely via VRM — giving you confidence your off-grid system is protected 24/7 without manual intervention. The BMS handles both charging and discharging protection, and integrates directly into Victron's ESS (Energy Storage System) software framework.
On marine and motorhome builds using Victron lithium batteries, the Lynx Smart BMS delivers certified BMS protection in a compact, snap-fit busbar form factor. The pre-alarm output warns your GX device before the BMS trips, giving generators or shore chargers time to respond — protecting both the battery bank and connected loads from unexpected disconnection underway. The M10 terminals accommodate the heavy-gauge cabling required for high-current lithium systems in demanding mobile and marine environments.
