Which BMS to use - camper

Currently my camper is equipped with:

  • Varta Professional LAD 115 deepcycle AGM
  • Schaudt EBL 211+LT453 18Ah
  • Schaudt Ladebooster WA 121525
  • 150W solar module and MPPT regulator Votronic 165Duo

I decided to replace AGM with Victron LiFePO4 SuperPack 200Ah by simply just replace batteries and set settings of booster and MPPT to lithium and set settings of EBL to Lead-Gel.

Since I do not have enough space, I must install normal Victron 200 Ah battery with external BMS. Which BMS should I use? Lynx Smart BMS or any other BMS with contactor?

The Smart BMS 12/200 may be worth looking at as it has both an alternator input and load output as well as allowed to charge and discharge signals. There are some good training courses on the different BMS options on the http://professional.victronenergy.com/ site. The Lynx Smart BMS is probably overkill in this instance.
