The VE.Bus BMS V2
Victron Energy is a company that provides versatile hardware for various power challenges. Their VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle, for instance, allows users to view BMV or MPPT information on iOS and Android devices using the VictronConnect App. This includes data such as battery status, solar panel power, and other useful information.
One of Victron Energy's products is the VE.Bus BMS V2, a Battery Management System (BMS) designed to interface with and protect a single or multiple Victron Lithium Battery Smart 12,8 V & 25,6 V (LiFePO4 or LFP). This system is for setups that use Victron inverters or inverter/chargers with VE.Bus communication. The VE.Bus BMS V2 monitors and protects batteries against over-voltage, under-voltage, and extreme temperature conditions. Depending on the status of the battery or batteries, the BMS will:
- Generate a pre-alarm signal to alert users of an imminent cell under-voltage condition.
- Disable inverting in VE.Bus inverters or inverter/chargers via VE.Bus and disconnect other loads via the 'Load Disconnect' terminal if there is a cell under-voltage condition.
- Disable charging in VE.Bus inverters or inverter/chargers via VE.Bus and disconnect other chargers via the 'Charge Disconnect' terminal in the event of a cell over-voltage, under temperature, or over-temperature condition.
