The main change is that this operates on the positive side of the circuit which makes life a lot easier, especially for marine applications. You can use it with any MultiPlus by connecting it (with a special cable) to the remote on-off switch of the MultiPlus. This greatly simplifies installation as no special programming of the MultiPlus is required. This is in general intended for smaller systems (like camper vans) because it is specifically designed to limit charging from the alternator.  Alternator current will be limited to approximately 80% of the value of whatever fuse you fit.  The device is supplied with a 100 amp fuse which limits the current to about 80 Amps.  The max fuse allowed is 125 Amps, the smallest fuse available is 60 Amps, and for smaller currents an adapter is included which allows you to use smaller fuses.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.pkys.com\/bms-cl-12-100-manual\"\u003eI wrote my own installation and operation manual for this BMS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFor Victron Smart Lithium Ion batteries only \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFor use with up to five batteries in parallel \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e12 volt systems only \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBattery Management System with load disconnect and pre-alarm function \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSmart BMS with Charge Current Limiter that protects the alternator against overload \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStarter battery protection - only charges the lithium battery when the start batter is above 13 volts \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRemote on-off \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLED Indicators \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth (see screenshots on the additional information tab)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45007033335986,"sku":"VEN-BMS110022000","price":170.11,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3028\/8562\/files\/VEN-BMS110022000__52349.png?v=1735060983"},{"product_id":"victron-energy-smart-bms-12-200","title":"Victron Energy Smart BMS 12\/200","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Victron Smart BMS 12\/200 is an all-in-one battery management system for Victron Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LiFePO4) Smart batteries, designed for 12V systems with a 12V alternator such as vehicles and boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt combines a current limiter, battery combiner, and battery protector in one compact unit, letting you safely connect a 12V alternator and starter battery, along with loads and chargers, to Smart Lithium batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCell Monitoring and Protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BMS monitors and protects each individual cell in the battery or battery bank, disconnecting the alternator, charge sources, or DC loads if it detects low cell voltage, high cell voltage, or over temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAlternator Protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dedicated alternator connection provides current limiting and one-way current flow from the alternator into the battery, so any size alternator and starter battery can be safely connected to the Smart Lithium battery bank while protecting the starter battery from excessive discharge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMonitoring and Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth allows monitoring and configuration from your phone.
