On this page you'll find a ranking of the best Victron Energy products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've already ranked the most important information about the products for you.

1. Victron Energy BMV-712 Smart

With its built-in Bluetooth, the BMV Smart is ready for the era of the Internet of Things (IoT). Most other Victron Energy products also feature Bluetooth. The wireless communication between the products simplifies system installation and enhances performance.

Download the Victron Bluetooth App: With a smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device, you can adjust settings, view all important data on one screen, access historical data, and update to the latest software when new features are available.

Easy installation: All electrical connections are made with the PCB connector on the current shunt. The shunt is connected to the monitor via a standard RJ12 telephone cable. Included are an RJ12 cable (10 m) and a battery cable with fuse (2 m); no additional components are required. Additionally, a separate front panel for a square or round display, a safety ring for rear mounting, and screws for front mounting are provided.

Monitoring midpoint voltage: A damaged cell or battery can destroy a large, expensive battery bank. When batteries are connected in series, measuring the midpoint voltage can generate a timely warning. Please also refer to the BMV manual, section 5.2 for further information.
 

2. Victron Energy SmartShunt 300A

SmartShunt 300A IP65

The SmartShunt is an all-in-one battery monitor, just without a display. Your phone acts as the display. The SmartShunt connects via Bluetooth
to the VictronConnect app on your phone or tablet, allowing you to conveniently read all monitored battery parameters, such as state of charge, remaining time, historical information, and much more. Alternatively, the SmartShunt can also be read by a GX device. The connection to the SmartShunt is made via a VE.Direct cable. The SmartShunt is a good alternative for BMV battery monitoring, especially for systems where battery monitoring is required but a separate display is not necessary. The SmartShunt is equipped with Bluetooth and a VE.Direct port, also for a second battery, center monitoring, or a temperature sensor.

VictronConnect
With VictronConnect, you can query live status information and configure all Victron products that either have a built-in Bluetooth function or are connected via a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart Dongle.

For more information, refer to the VictronConnect manual.
 

3. Victron Energy Lynx Power In

Lynx Power IN. Model with M8 busbar. The Lynx Power IN is a modular DC busbar. It can be used as part of the modular Lynx distribution system or as a standalone distributor. Unlike the Lynx Distributor, the Lynx Power IN does not have fuses or protection and serves "only" as a connection for positive and negative. This can be helpful when a fuse is already integrated into the battery or implemented in another way. 

4. Victron Energy Interface cable

The MK3 USB to VE.Bus Interface from Victron Energy connects your computer or laptop to a variety of Victron products via the VE.Bus port. This interface enables you to utilize a range of Victron programs to configure and analyze your Victron product. It is the easiest way to tailor complex systems or individual devices to your needs.

The following free programs can be used with the help of the interface:
- VEConfigure 3
- VE.Bus Quick Configure – For the installation of three-phase systems, such as those with three Multiplus inverters.
- VE.Bus System Configurator – For complex systems
- VEFlash – For simple firmware updates of Victron products with VE.Bus.

The following device families are currently compatible with the VE.Bus to USB Interface:
- Multi
- MultiGrid
- MultiPlus
- Quattro
- Phoenix inverters (Only models with a VE.Bus communication port)
- ECOmulti
- EasySolar
- EasyPlus

Included in the package:
1x Victron Energy MK3-USB (VE.Bus to USB) Interface.
 

5. Victron Energy Lynx Distributor

A modular DC busbar with space for four DC fuses. It monitors the status of each individual fuse and indicates its status with an LED on the front. The Lynx Distributor is part of the Lynx modular distribution system, available in M8 and M10 models. The Lynx Distributor is a modular DC busbar with provisions for 4 DC fuses. The Lynx Distributor monitors the current status of each fuse. The current status of the fuses is displayed on the front of the Lynx Distributor via LEDs. As part of the modular Lynx distribution system, there is still plenty of scope for expanding the components. Easy installation is clearly illustrated by the enclosed instructions. A 40cm long RJ10 cable is included in the scope of delivery. The cable is used for data transmission when connected to a Lynx BMS. However, it is primarily used as a power supply. 

6. Victron Energy MPPT WireBox-S - 100-15

MPPT Wire Box – Tr

The MPPT Wire Box provides an additional level of safety and is particularly useful when your MPPT solar charger is installed in a publicly accessible
location. It covers all DC connections and prevents accidental or improper access to the terminal screws.

It is available in various sizes:

MPPT WireBox-S - 75-10/15
MPPT WireBox-S - 100-15
MPPT WireBox-S - 100-20
MPPT WireBox-M - 100-30/50 & 150/35
MPPT WireBox-L Tr - 150-45/60/70 & 250-60/70
MPPT WireBox-XL Tr - 150-85/100 & 250-85/100
MPPT WireBox-XL Tr - 150-85/100 & 250-85/100 VE.Can.

8. Victron Energy Cyrix-Li-load 12/24V-230A

Cyrix Lithium BMS Battery Coupler

The Cyrix Battery Coupler is a high-performance microprocessor-controlled relay that can be used to protect Victron LiFePO4 batteries.

To
prevent cell undervoltage, overvoltage, and overheating, all Victron LiFePO4 batteries are equipped with an integrated cell balancing function. This function internally regulates the differences between the cells and informs the external BMS whether to disconnect or connect the charging or discharging process.

- Disconnecting the load in the event of imminent cell undervoltage
- Disconnecting or reducing the charging current in the event of imminent cell overvoltage, high temperature (>50°C), or low temperature (<0°C).

The core of this protective measure is the VE.Bus BMS or the Small BMS. However, the VE.Bus BMS can only directly instruct VE.Bus devices to interrupt charging or discharging. Other loads or chargers must be controlled externally. This also applies to the Small BMS, which cannot control VE.Bus devices.

To disconnect such loads or chargers, several Cyrix switches that can be controlled by the BMS are available.

The models differ in:

System voltage, load capacity, and whether a load or a charge should be controlled.

Here, Load refers to load control and Charge refers to charge control.

For more complex systems, it often makes sense to consult.
 

9. Victron Energy VE.Bus Smart Dongle

Use your VE.Bus products with the VictronConnect app. Firstly, it is the Bluetooth accessory for the inverters and chargers: Multis, MultiPlus, MultiPlus-II, MultiGrid, MultiGrid-II, Quattros and the Phoenix inverter series with VE.Bus connection. After installation, use the VictronConnect app to monitor operation and run the system: Change the input current limit and switch between Off, On and Charger Only modes. Secondly, it adds voltage and temperature detection to the inverters and chargers. It works with all models and is especially useful in combination with the MultiPlus-II as it does not have inbuilt terminals for voltage and temperature sensor wiring. For monitoring, the device is a good alternative in caravans, smaller yachts and motorhomes for which the Color Control GX or Venus GX are uneconomical or simply not desired.
