Caravan Battery Monitors

Victron Energy SmallBMS NG is an advanced battery management system (BMS) specifically designed to protect and monitor Victron Lithium NG batteries (note: not compatible with Lithium Smart batteries). It provides reliable protection for lithium batteries by managing charging and load disconnections, and providing early warnings of low battery voltage.

SmallBMS NG is a simple and cost-effective alternative to the VE.Bus BMS NG system for applications where integrated control of Victron inverters or chargers is not required. It does not include a VE.Bus bus and is therefore not recommended for use with VE.Bus MultiPlus or Quattro inverters.

The product is easily connected via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect app, through which all battery information — such as charge level, current and alarms — is clearly visible without a separate SmartShunt device.

Batteries can be connected in series, parallel or a combination of the two and SmallBMS NG supports 12 V, 24 V and 48 V systems. Up to 50 batteries can be connected to the system in 12 V or 24 V groups and 25 batteries in 48 V groups, enabling large energy storage.

Batteries can be connected in series, parallel or a combination of the two, allowing for the construction of efficient 12 V, 24 V and 48 V systems:

• Up to 192 kWh in 12 V system

• Up to 384 kWh in a 24 V system

• Up to 128 kWh in a 48 V system

SmallBMS NG is an ideal solution for the electrical protection and monitoring of lithium batteries in applications such as recreational vehicles, boats and off-grid systems where VE.Bus integration is not required.

Victron Gx Io Extender 150

• With the Victron GX IO-Extender 150 you get a powerful extension of control and monitoring capabilities for your GX devices – e.g. Cerbo GX, Venus GX or other GX platforms. Perfect for those who want full control on their boat.
• The GX IO-Extender 150 expands your GX device with 8 digital I/O channels that can be flexibly configured as either 8 inputs, 8 outputs, or a mix (4+4).
• Expands your input and output signals with 8 digital channels
• Four PWM channels for precise control (e.g. dimming lighting or motor control)
• Double “latching relay” (bi-stable relay) that retains its last position even in the event of a power failure
• A solid-state switch

Thanks to the plug-and-play function, it is connected directly via USB, where it both receives power and communicates, without any additional cabling or power supply. With the help of flexible configuration, you can decide for yourself which of the digital channels will function as inputs or outputs, easily adjusted via DIP switches. For those who want to take the next step in control and monitoring, the device offers full compatibility with Node-RED, which makes it possible to build your own flows for automation, alarm management and system logic. As always with Victron Energy, you can count on high quality, long life and reliable support. The device is also built to withstand real-world conditions, with an operating temperature from -20 °C to +50 °C, making it robust enough even in more demanding environments.

Do you need more control signals than standard from GX? Do you want to automate lighting, ventilation, pumps or other systems? Then you have found the right product.

The Smartshunt 300A IP65 is a battery monitor that uses your phone as a display instead of an integrated screen. The Smartshunt connects to the VictronConnect app on your phone or tablet via Bluetooth, allowing you to check all monitored battery parameters such as charge status, remaining time, history data and more.

Smartshunt 300A IP65 can also be connected and read via a GX device. Connection to the Smartshunt is easy with a VE.Direct cable.
The Smartshunt is an excellent alternative to the BMV battery monitor, especially in systems where battery monitoring is required but where you want to reduce cables and clutter. It is equipped with Bluetooth, a VE.Direct port and a connection that can be used to monitor a second battery, a midpoint monitor or a temperature sensor.

SmartShunt is a versatile battery monitor that doesn't have its own display, as your phone acts as the display. SmartShunt connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect App installed on your phone (or tablet). You can conveniently read all the variables you want to monitor, such as battery charge status, available charge (time remaining at current power consumption), historical data and much more.
Alternatively, you can connect the SmartShunt to the GX device and read the data on its display. The connection between the SmartShunt and the GX device is made using the VE.Direct cable.

SmartShunt is a good alternative to the BMV battery monitor, especially in systems where a battery monitor is needed but you want to avoid extra cabling. SmartShunt is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, VE.Direct bus and a connection that can be used for monitoring a second battery, center point monitoring or to which it is possible to connect a temperature sensor.

MK3-USB allows the following products to be connected to a PC for configuration: Multi, MultiGrid, MultiPlus, MultiPlus-II, Quattro, VE.Bus BMS V2, Inverter (only models with VE.Bus communication port), ECOmulti, EasySolar, EasyPlus.
VictronConnect is the perfect tool for installers who want to quickly and efficiently configure their systems after they are connected. VictronConnect makes it easy and safe to update the software of your devices.
