The Victron Smart BMS CL 12-100 is a sophisticated battery management system (BMS) designed to protect and manage Victron 12.8V Lithium Smart batteries in 12V applications. This unit monitors each battery cell and provides safeguards against overvoltage, undervoltage, and high temperatures, ensuring the longevity and reliability of your battery system. It supports up to 20 batteries in parallel, making it suitable for energy storage capacities up to 84 kWh.
Key Features:
- Protects alternators and batteries from overload and excessive charge current
- Designed for 12V systems
- Dedicated alternator input
- Current limiting feature
- Bluetooth-enabled
- Remote on/off terminal
- Pre-alarm output
- Instant Readout functionality
Protection for Alternators and Batteries
This BMS is specially designed to protect your alternator from overload by limiting the input current from the alternator to the battery. With a built-in charge current limiter, it ensures that the alternator operates within safe parameters, preventing overheating and damage during high output conditions. Additionally, it protects the lithium batteries from excessive charge currents, enhancing system stability.
Customisable Load and Charge Control
The Smart BMS CL 12-100 features dedicated load and charge disconnect outputs to safeguard the system. In case of abnormal cell voltage or high temperature, the BMS automatically disconnects the alternator, charge sources, or DC loads to prevent damage. These outputs are short circuit protected, ensuring safe and efficient battery management in real-time.
Pre-Alarm and Remote Monitoring
A pre-alarm output is available to trigger a relay, LED, or buzzer, providing early warning before the system disconnects due to unsafe conditions. The BMS also includes Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to monitor and configure the system via the VictronConnect app. With Instant Readout, important values can be checked without needing a full connection, streamlining diagnostics.
Remote On/Off Functionality
The BMS comes with a remote on/off terminal, which enables flexible control over the system. This can be used to interrupt charging through the alternator port while keeping the core BMS functionality active, or as a full system on/off switch. The remote functionality allows for greater flexibility in managing the power system for vehicles or boats.
Durable Design for Harsh Environments
With an IP65 protection rating, the Smart BMS CL 12-100 is built to withstand tough conditions. It operates in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +60 °C and can handle high humidity levels, making it ideal for outdoor or marine environments. The robust enclosure ensures that sensitive electronics are well-protected from dust and moisture.
Compact and Easy to Install
The Smart BMS CL 12-100 is lightweight at 1.6 kg and compact with dimensions of 65 x 120 x 224 mm. Its small form factor makes it easy to install in tight spaces, while the M8 DC power connections and Faston female connectors offer simple and secure wiring. Designed for seamless integration into 12V systems, it is a reliable and space-saving solution for lithium battery management.
