Victron Lynx Smart BMS 500

Has Victron-energy not considered supporting 3rd party battery makers on its lists via can-bus link. Such as pylontech, so that this could be apart of a lynx bus bar system. Instead of as I am planning having too use the lynx smart shunt.


As the lynx smart bms can be firmware updated but not the other!

I have been told by several users off of facebook that they use a victron shunt combined with pylontech batteries. I know that isn't necessarily needed but its nice to have super accurate info. And also from y/t explorist life he did comparison graph.


Second line from bottom of graph shows '3rd party CAN BUS' ticking the LYNX SHUNT alone & with Cerbo GX + touch gx
