Hello I have ordered 8x 280Ah LIFEPO4 batteries. Now I am looking for the right BMS. Since there are certainly some here who have more knowledge of the subject, I thought I'd ask. Especially because not every BMS is compatible with victron.
It is important that I can expand the BMS later because I plan to use at least 2x 8 packs in parallel.
Currently, I am leaning towards a Batrium BMS, as this looks pretty solid. The main problem is the price.
I am grateful for any help. Greetings Mr.Yoshii
there are many brands and most of the known ones are good - but for price and features and ease of use the 123 fits this nicely
There are a few BMS that work with a Victron setup. 123Smart and I think Batrium BMS has their own drivers. There is also a driver for the Chargery BMS and then also my driver that handles a few different BMS systems (JBD, ANT, JKBMS, DALY).

Ok thanks for your input. I have today times the Batrium bms kit together and this price in a inch calculator given. The BMS would cost me about 950€. This is then but a little exaggerated.
The 123 smart BMS has unfortunately no möglichkeir to be controlled via lan / wifi.
Also it seems that each pack needs its own BMS.
My plan is to supply 3 packs with a BMS and to switch them in parallel. It is important to me that each cell is monitored.
What is more suitable to embed in a Victron system
a JBD UART or a JBD RS485 ?
I would look at REC-BMS. None of the third party BMS units are officially supported by Victron, but REC seems to be the best when it comes to CAN communication. They also have a wifi module if you want to view over the network. They have a ton of different options for different voltages and if you want separate packs you can do master/slave units.
