Victron Energy - smallBMS

The smallBMS with pre-alarm is an all-in-one Battery Management System (BMS) for Victron Energy Lithium Battery Smart batteries. These batteries are Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries and are available in 12.8 V or 25.6 V in various capacities. They can be connected in series, parallel and series/parallel so that a battery bank can be built for system voltages of 12 V, 24 V or 48 V. The maximum number of batteries in one system is 20, which results in a maximum energy storage of 84 kWh in a 12 V system and up to 102 kWh in a 24 V) and 48 V)system.
The smallBMS is a simple and inexpensive alternative to the VE.Bus BMS, but does not have a VE.Bus interface and is therefore not suitable for use with VE.Bus MultiPlus and Quattro inverter/chargers.

Features

• Load disconnect output: Can be used to control the remote on/off input of a BatteryProtect, Inverters, DC-DC converter or other loads that have remote on/off port functionality. Due to its maximum output current of 1A, it can even control a high-current relay or a contactor. Note that a non inverting or inverting on/off cable may be required, please consult the manual.
• Pre-alarm output: The pre-alarm output can be used to issue a visible or audible warning when the battery voltage is low and will trip with a minimum delay of 30 seconds before the Load disconnect output is disabled due to cell undervoltage.

• Charge disconnect output: Can be used to control the remote on/off port of a charger, such as the Smart Charger IP43, a Cyrix-Li Charge relay, a Cyrix-Li-ct Battery Combiner or a BatteryProtect. The output is normally high and becomes free floating in case of imminent low cell voltage or high/low temperature. Note that the Charge disconnect output is not suitable to power an inductive load
such as a relay coil.

• Remote on/off terminal: Both the Load and Charge disconnect output can be controlled remotely via the remote on/off terminal. When off, both outputs will be free floating so that loads and chargers are turned off.

• LED indicators: The smallBMS has two LED indicators, a blue LED indicating that the Load disconnect output is still high and the cell voltage is above the threshold set in the battery, and a red LED
indicating that the Charge disconnect output is low due to high/low cell temperature or high cell voltage.
