• Standby Mode: Approximately 0.6 W (50 mA at 12 V).
• ON Mode: Approximately 2.6 W (217 mA at 12 V), depending on the state of the relays.

Integrated Features & Monitoring

• Battery Monitor: Provides real-time data including state of charge, voltage, current, and historical data.
• Bluetooth Smart: Built-in for monitoring and setup via the VictronConnect App, featuring Instant Readout for quick diagnostics.
• DVCC Closed Loop Control: Automatically controls compatible Victron inverter/chargers and solar chargers via a connected GX device.
• Lynx Distributor Monitoring: Monitors fuse status for up to 4 connected Lynx Distributor modules.
• Parallel Redundancy: Supports paralleling up to 5 BMS units, each with its own battery bank, to form a single redundant system.

Inputs, Outputs & Connectivity

• AUX Terminal: Provides an onboard auxiliary power supply (1.1 A continuous) to power critical devices like a GX device even after a low-voltage shutdown.
• Allow-to-Charge Port: 0.5 A at 60 VDC (protected by resettable fuse).
