Victron Battery Management and Monitoring System Ultimate Control and Monitoring with the Victron VE.Bus BMS system along side the Cerbo GX and SmartShunt. This will allow you to remotely monitor you installation using either the Bluetooth or WIFI capability. Kit Contents VE.Bus BMS with AC Detector 65amp Smart BatteryProtect 500A IP65 SmartShunt Cerbo GX Touch50 Display VE.Direct Cable Victron VE.Bus BMS Battery Management System VE.Bus BMS is a Battery Management System (BMS) designed to interface with and protect a single, or multiple Victron Lithium Battery Smart 12,8V & 25,6V (LiFePO4 or LFP) in systems that have Victron inverters or inverter/chargers with VE.Bus communication. It monitors and protects the batteries against over voltage and under voltage of any individual cell, and also over temperature or under temperature conditions. Based on the status of the battery or batteries, the BMS will: Generate a pre-alarm signal to alert of an imminent cell under voltage condition. Disable inverting in VE.Bus inverters or inverter/chargers via VE.Bus, and disable other loads via the 'Load Disconnect' terminal in the event of a cell under voltage condition. Disable charging in VE.Bus inverters or inverter/chargers via VE.Bus and disable other chargers via the 'Charge Disconnect' terminal in the event of a cell overvoltage, under temperature or over temperature condition. Remote on/off terminals. Ability to disable VE.Direct and VE.Can solar chargers via a GX device. Allowing control of the VE.Bus inverter/charger from multiple devices, like the Digital Multi Control, the VE.Bus Smart dongle and/or a GX device. Auxiliary power input and output terminals that allow a GX device to remain powered in the event of a system shutdown. Part Number BMS300200200 Victron IP65 500A / 50mV SmartShunt - Bluetooth Enabled  IP65 Water Proof - ideal for Boats Alternative to BMV-712 Battery Monitor Smart Enabled Bluetooth for VictronConnect App GX Device Connectivity via VE Direct Port  Smart Battery Shunt IP65 Water Proof Rating The SmartShunt is an all in one battery monitor, only without a display. Your phone acts as the display. The SmartShunt connects via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect app on your phone (or tablet) and you can conveniently read out all monitored battery parameters, like state of charge, time to go, historical information and much more. Ideal for Monitoring batteries on your boat, or in damp conditions thanks to the IP65 rating  Alternatively the SmartShunt can be connected and be read by a GX device. Connection to the SmartShunt is made via a VE.Direct cable. The SmartShunt is a good alternative for a BMV battery monitor, especially for systems where battery monitoring is needed but less wiring and clutter is wanted.The SmartShunt is equipped with Bluetooth, a VE.Direct port and a connection that can be used for: monitoring a second battery, midpoint monitoring or a temperature sensor. Smart BatteryProtect 24/12 from Victron Energy 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. 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. The Smart BatteryProtect is a uni-directional device. It can only deal with current in one direction, so either current to a load, or current from a charger, but not both currents at the same time. In addition to this, current only can only flow from the IN terminal to the OUT terminal. In case of use with a load, the battery connects to the IN terminal, and in case of use with a charger, the charger connects to the IN terminal.
