Dear all
I checked on previous post's, but I cannot find "precise" differences between them.
What is the difference between the lynx shunt vs the Lynx SMART BMS?
If you have a side by side spec sheet, please share.
See web link's below
The difference from what I can understand, is that the SMART BMS is suited for Victron batteries as it has the "special" connections at the bottom for it (note : it can be operated with 3rd party batteries as well i.e. not using this special plugs..... I assume).
If memory serves me correctly the Smart BMS has a 1000 Amp relay inside that allows for disconnect if programming is done at specifics limits.
However the normal one (LYNX SHUNT)... is different ...... ???
It does not have the connections for the battery plugs? Also has a relay .....??? Also has VE can???
Can both (Lynx SHUNT & lynx SMART BMS) do pre-charging???? or is it just the SMART BMS?

I would like to install this as I am mainly after the precharge option. Yes, many installers indicate that they do not install this as they either pre-charge with a resistor or do not pre-charge at all when flicking the switch.
I would like to install something that will last for years to come and if the extra means a lynx pre-charge is safer, then I would like to do so. (unless someone has a better option if the batteries does not come with pre-charge option installed).
On a remote area, one sometimes encounter a shutdown due to ...... and hence, I would like the system to start up as safe as possible (i.e. for the capacitor's & battery BMS mosfet's)
Any info will be greatly appreciated
