Hello Victron Community,
my Lynx Smart BMS 500 has a significant higher standby consumption since the Firmware update 1.04 .
After the Lynx Smart BMS cuts the loads and goes into standby mode (over weekend) the standby consumption causes battery drain to 8,5V .
Was anything changed in Firmware update 1.04 that causes this behaviour ?
Is a downgrade to Firmware 1.03 possible ?
Weird one. What is the recorded or measured standby draw?
Is it possible the batteries own bms has put the batteries to sleep?
We measured a battery current of 220mA with disconnected AC/DC, inactive DC/DC and switched off BP-100 (where all loads are attached). In the APP, the BMS displays 0.1A.
If the BMS is switched off via the APP, we measure a consumption of 80mA. 40mA of this goes to the account of the Lynx distributor.
Is a downgrade to Firmware 1.03 possible ?
Thank you both. This helped me a lot. I learned that this behaviour / consumption of the Lynx Smart 500 is normal.
Usually the lynx Smart BMS is used in bigger systems with more battery capacity. But in my case it is used just with one 12,6V / 200Ah. When i leave the system with an almost empty battery over the weekend without charging it than its realistic that the battery will drain.
Supply voltage range of the Lynx Smart BMS is 9-58Vdc. This explaines why the battery drained down to 8,5V and not lower. Lynx Smart BMS 500 simply stopped working.
