Description

Protects each individual cell of a Victron lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) battery

Each individual cell of a LiFePO4 battery must be protected against over voltage, under voltage and over temperature.
Victron LiFePO4 batteries have integrated Balancing, Temperature and Voltage control (acronym: BTV) and connect to the
VE.Bus BMS with two M8 circular connector cord sets.
The BTVs of several batteries can be daisy chained. Up to five batteries can be paralleled and up to four batteries can be series
connected (BTVs are simply daisy-chained) so that a 48V battery bank of up to 1500Ah can be assembled. Please see our
LiFePO4 battery documentation for details.

The BMS will:

– shut down or disconnect loads in case of imminent cell under voltage,
– reduce charge current in case of imminent cell overvoltage or over temperature (VE.Bus products only, see below),
and
– shut down or disconnect battery chargers in case of imminent cell overvoltage or over temperature.

Protects 12V, 24V and 48V systems

The operating voltage range of the BMS: 9 to 70V DC.

Communicates with all VE.Bus products

The VE.Bus BMS connects to a MultiPlus, Quattro or Phoenix inverter with a standard RJ45 UTP cable.
Other products, without VE.Bus, can be controlled as shown below:

Load Disconnect

The Load Disconnect output is normally high and becomes free floating in case of imminent cell under voltage (default
3,1V/cell, adjustable on the battery between 2,85V and 3,15V per cell).
Maximum current: 2A.
The Load Disconnect output can be used to control
– the remote on/off of a load, and/or
– the remote on/off of an electronic load switch (Battery Protect)

Pre-alarm

The pre-alarm output is normally free floating and becomes high in case of imminent cell under voltage (default 3,1V/cell,
adjustable on the battery between 2,85V and 3,15V per cell).
Maximum current: 1A (not short circuit protected).
The minimum delay between pre-alarm and load disconnect is 30 seconds.

Charge Disconnect

The Charge Disconnect output is normally high and becomes free floating in case of imminent cell over voltage or over
temperature. Maximum current: 10mA.
The Charge Disconnect output can be used to control
– the remote on/off of a charger and/or
– a Cyrix-Li-Charge relay and/or
– a Cyrix-Li-ct Battery Combiner

LED indicators

– Enabled (blue): VE.Bus products are enabled.
– Cell>4V or temperature (red): charge disconnect output low because of imminent cell over voltage or over
temperature.
– Cell>2,8V (blue): load disconnect output high.

Data Sheet

Shipping

HOW MUCH IS SHIPPING?

Shipping is calculated at checkout based on the contents of your cart and the shipping address. This takes into account product weight and dimensions, and whether the location being sent to is metro, regional or remote. The price will change depending on whether it is a commercial or residential address. There is an extra charge for items marked as *Dangerous Goods by the courier.

Please note, that we are currently using Freight Exchange as a freight broker. Their terms & conditions are listed here.

WHERE DO YOU SHIP?

We ship to most destinations in Australia. If the checkout does not allow your shipping address, please contact us and we will see what we can do to help.

WHO DO YOU SHIP WITH?

We use different couriers depending on rates and services available, including Border Express, Couriers Please and Australia Post. If you have a specific reason to use or not use a particular courier please let us know.

what about insurance?

We will generally insure any delivery above $500, BUT;

Freight damages MUST be reported to us within 24 hours of delivery for insurance claims on damages to be realised. Where possible please inspect the delivery for external damage to the packaging, and if damage is suspected inspect the goods BEFORE signing for the delivery.

Please refuse any obviously damaged deliveries (smashed panels, dented batteries) and ask the delivery driver to return the delivery to the depot and report the damages to us ASAP.

If you have granted “Authority to leave” or missed the driver, or have your delivery made to a depot, have the receiver inspect the delivery and please report any freight damage to us directly with photos via email within 24 hours of the delivery being made.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee damages will be covered by insurance if they are reported after 24 hours from the time of delivery.

How Long Does the shipping take?

It varies greatly based on the destination and the products ordered. Orders are usually dispatched from our warehouse in Preston, VIC within 48 hours. You can use the estimates below as a rough guide for shipping time:

  • VIC and SA: 1-2 days
  • QLD and NSW: 2-3 days
  • NT, WA and TAS: 3-10 days +

These estimates do not apply if the destination is regional or remote. Once orders leave our warehouse we have very little control over the actual shipping time. If you need a more accurate estimate of shipping time please contact us.
