Victron Energy Smart BMS CL 12/100

The Smart BMS CL 12/100 is a Battery Management system for Victron lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) Smart Batteries. It combines the functionality of the external BMS along with alternator charging from a 12-volt vehicle into one unit. The maximum charging current from the vehicle alternator/battery through the CL 12/100 is electronically limited to approximately 90% of the fuse rating you use with the unit and configure in the VictronConnect app for the device. For example, if you use a 60 amp fuse, the current will be limited to approximately 50 amps. You can read the full details in the product manual.

Note: using this BMS with a Victron Energy MultiPlus inverter/charger requires an “inverting remote on-off cable“. Similarly, if you’re using a Smart Solar charge controller, you’ll need a VE.Direct non-inverting remote on-off cable.

The BMS is also equipped with a remote on/off connector, to turn the BMS (and the system) off via a remote switch, and a pre-alarm contact, to give a warning signal before the BMS will disconnect the batteries from the system.
