Does VE-BUS BMS protect against LOW temperature situations

Hi all,


After a definitive answer on the above please, we have 4 older (non Bluetooth) Victron LifePo4 batteries daisy chained to the BMS and I know that it will stop charge and draw on a high temperature event, but what about cold temperatures??

Can anyone let me know please?


Many thanks in advance!

The old non Bluetooth batteries do not have a low temperature protection. The VE.bus BMS also does not protect against low temperature. So the system will continue charging while it is freezing.

The Bluetooth batteries have the 5 degree low temp charge protection.

Many thanks for your quick reply... ok, am I correct in thinking that a way around this is to use the BMV's alarm replay and a temp probe on the battery?
