Victron Shunt with BYD battery

Hi, Everyone

I am planning to installed a parallel 3 phase quattro 10kVA and 2 Mppt , 2 byd Battery banks with BYD BMS. Two questions, can I connect all DC terminals in 2 LYnx Power in. I am confused why battery need be connected to DC power in and MPPTs Inverters must be connected to DC distributor. In my case , do I need connect a Lynx shunt? I do not think so.

Another question is what is the difference between shunt and shunt ion and shunt ion BMS. They all like seem functions.


Thanks

Hi John,

The Lynx Power in and Lynx Distributor are pretty much the same but Lynx Distributor has fuse holders inside while the Lynx Power in is just a negative and positive busbar in an enclosure.

So I recommend that you use Lynx Distributors to have the ability to place a Mega Fuse on each line.

You do not need to have a Lynx shunt either as the battery SOC will be given by the BMS of your BYD batteries.

Lynx ion BMS is to be used with our 24V lithium batteries, Lynx shunt can be used with any type of batteries that don't have an internal BMS providing SOC values...
