Hello All,
I'm designing a system for a marine application using two or three 200Ah Victron Smart batteries. I have a MultiPlus II Inverter/Charger, two Smart Solar controllers and a variety of low amp DC loads. From the research I've done, it seems the best options are the VE.BUS BMS or the Lynx Smart BMS. The Smart 12/200 was a contender but the 200A current limit took it off the list. That said, the Lynx looks to be the best, comprehensive solution but the price is also very high.
Can you please tell me what other components I will need with the VE.BUS BMS? I read I will need a battery protect for the DC loads but what about the charging side? How will the BMS shut down the solar chargers or the Multi one the cells are at the max level? I also save the CerboGX installed, can this be used for this function or do I need additional hardware? Thank you !
