Using mini bms with Multiplus

Hi everyone

I’m getting conflicting answers about using the mini bms.
I have 4 100Ah smart LiFePO4 batteries, so need a bms.
some say I can’t connect it with my Multiplus 3000 and need a standard BMS and some say I can use the mini with a specific cable?


so the question is - can I or can’t I?


many thanks

Alex

@alex@alexalley.com,

the smallBMS does not have a VE.Bus interface and thus not able to control your MultiPus via VE.Bus. I suggest using either the VE.Bus BMS or the Lynx Smart BMS, which are perfectly designed to control VE.Bus Invert/Chargers.
