Victron Energy LYNX Ion + SHUNT 350A

The Lynx Ion is the Battery Management System (BMS) that controls the Victron LHE Series Lithium Ion batteries - Click here to view

It contains the 350A safety contactor, and controls the cell-balancing, charging and discharging of the system. The Lynx Ion will protect the battery pack from both overcharging and depletion.

Lynx Ion + Shunt
The Lynx Ion + Shunt is the BMS. Also it keeps track of the State of Charge of the batteries, and calculates the Time to Go. It protects the battery pack from both overcharging and depletion.
When an overcharge is imminent, it will signal the charging devices to decrease or stop charging. This is done with the VE.Can bus (NMEA2000) compatible, and also via the two available open/close contacts. Same when the battery is nearing empty, and there is no charging capability available. It will signal big loads to switch off.

For both overcharging and depletion there is a last safety resort, the built-in 350A or 600A contactor. In case signalling does not stop the imminent overcharge or depletion, it will open the contactor.

VE.Can / NMEA2000 Canbus
Communication with the outside world is done via the VE.Can protocol.
