Part# BMS210055000

The Victron Energy Smart BMS 12/200 is a Battery Management System for Victron lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) Smart Batteries. It has been specifically designed for 12V systems with a 12V alternator; usage of this BMS in systems of alternate nominal voltages or batteries is not possible.

The Smart BMS 12/200 monitors and protects each individual battery cell within the battery (or battery bank - supports a maximum of 10 Smart 12.8V LFP batteries in parallel) and will disconnect the alternator, charge sources, or DC loads in case of low battery voltage, high battery voltage or over-temperature.

The dedicated alternator/start battery input provides current limiting and one-way traffic from the alternator into the LFP battery bank so that any size alternator can be safely connected to the Smart Lithium battery bank; supports a maximum charge or discharge current of 200A. As with all installations, please ensure that you select a charge rate which is equal to or less than 50% of the alternator's rated output current minus chassis loads; failure to do so may result in alternator failure and/or other system damage.

The Smart BMS 12/200 is also equipped with a remote on/off connector, to turn the BMS (and the system) off via a remote switch, and a pre-alarm contact, to give a warning signal before the BMS will disconnect the batteries from the system.

Please note:

This component may only be used with Victron Smart 12.8V LFP component battery systems. It can be used in installations with a VE.Bus product in place, but may not be the preferable solution and will require advanced programming to function; see below. This component may not be used on other brands of batteries, DIY battery packs, or in systems of any nominal voltage other than 12V.
