how readout min/max cell voltage with Lynx bms in VRM

With the Lynx bms I can not select the widget in VRM, min/max cell voltage.

With MG master bms, REC bms and others I can select this widget.

Is this a missing feature, or do I something wrong?

Unfortunately this is not reported from the battery to the BMS. The battery only sends a "allow to change" and "allow to discharge" signal to the BMS.

You can see the cell voltage only locally with VictronConnect over Bluetooth.

As far as I know the next generation of Victron smart lithium batteries will be able to do that.

In my view a missing very important fucntion.

I always monitor this for customers.


Technically, I would say, the GX could receive this min/max voltage by bluetooth from the battery, means it is only a software implentation. No new hardware needed.


With the Victron connect app, I can monitor it remotely, but I like to see, and store, it in VRM, for later review.


Do you have any idea, when the new generation get this fucntion, could the older one be upgraded by firmware?

The Bluetooth connection is not designed for a permanent readout.

The new generation is a new hardware there is no way to update old batteries with firmware.

As far as I know it also needs new BMS' because the communication from battery to BMS is totally different.
