VE.Bus BMS for Victron LiFePO4 Batteries 12-48VDC Works with All VE.BusThe VE.Bus BMS protects each individual cell of a Victron lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) battery.Each individual cell of a LiFePO4 battery must be protected against over-voltage, under-voltage, and over-temperature. Victron LiFePO4 batteries have integrated Balancing, Temperature, and Voltage control (acronym: BTV) and connect to the VE.Bus BMS with two M8 circular connector cord sets. The BTVs of several batteries can be daisy-chained. Please see our LiFePO4 battery documentation for details.The BMS will: Shut down or disconnect loads in case of the imminent cell under voltage. Reduce charge current in case of imminent cell overvoltage or over temperature (VE.Bus products only, see below). Shut down or disconnect battery chargers in case of imminent cell overvoltage or over-temperature. Please contact your dealer for any returns, repairs or support issues related to this product.

BlueSolar MPPT Charge Controller - 100V - 15AMPFeatures: Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers.  Load output Over-discharge of the battery can be prevented by connecting all loads to the load output. The load output will disconnect the load when the battery has been discharged to a pre-set voltage. Alternatively, an intelligent battery management algorithm can be chosen: see Battery Life. The load output is short circuit proof. Some loads (especially inverters) can best be connected directly to the battery, and the inverter remote control connected to the load output. A special interface cable may be needed, please see the manual.  Battery Life: intelligent battery management When a solar charge controller is not able to recharge the battery to its full capacity within one day, the result is often that the battery will continually be cycled between a ‘partially charged’ state and the ‘end of discharge’ state. This mode of operation (no regular full recharge) will destroy a lead-acid battery within weeks or months. The Battery Life algorithm will monitor the state of charge of the battery and, if needed, day by day slightly increase the load disconnect level (i.e. disconnect the load earlier) until the harvested solar energy is sufficient to recharge the battery to nearly the full 100%. From that point onwards the load disconnect level will be modulated so that a nearly 100% recharge is achieved about once every week.  Programmable battery charge algorithm See the software section on our website for details  Day/night timing and light dimming option See the software section on our website for details  Programming, real-time data and history display options - Color Control GX or other GX devices: see the Venus documents on our website. - A smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device: VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle needed Warranty InfoWARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Smart BatteryProtect - 65AMP - 6-35 VDC - Bluetooth CapableFeatures: Protects the battery against excessive discharge and can be used as a system on/off switch The Smart BatteryProtect disconnects the battery from non-essential loads before it is completely discharged (which would damage the battery) or before it has insufficient power left to crank the engine. The on/off input can be used as a system on/off switch.  12/24V auto ranging The Smart BatteryProtect automatically detects system voltage one time only.  Bluetooth: programming made easy When using Bluetooth to program the Smart BatteryProtect any required engage/disengage levels can be set. Alternatively, one of nine predefined engage/disengage levels can be set with the programming pin (see manual). If required, Bluetooth can be disabled.  A special setting for Li-ion batteries In this mode the BatteryProtect can be controlled by the VE.Bus BMS. Note: the BatteryProtect can also be used as a charge interrupter in between a battery charger and a Li-ion battery. See connection diagram in the manual. Ultra-low current consumption This is important in case of Li-ion batteries, especially after low voltage shutdown. Please see our Li-ion battery datasheet and the VE.Bus BMS manual for more information.  Over voltage protection To prevent damage to sensitive loads due to over voltage, the load is disconnected whenever the DC voltage exceeds 16.3V respectively 32.6V.  Ignition proof No relays but MOSFET switches, and therefore no sparks.  Delayed alarm output The alarm output is activated if the battery voltage drops below the preset disconnect level during more than 12 seconds. Starting the engine will therefore not activate the alarm. The alarm output is a short circuit proof open collector output to the negative (minus) rail, max. current 50 mA. The alarm output is typically used to activate a buzzer, LED or relay.  Delayed load disconnect and delayed reconnect The load will be disconnected 90 seconds after the battery voltage drops below the preset level. If the battery voltage increases again to the connect threshold within this time period (after the engine has been started for example), the load will not be disconnected. The load will be reconnected 30 seconds after the battery voltage has increased to more than the preset reconnect voltage.
