These Victron Superpack batteries have a built-in BMS meaning they are simpler to install but not as versatile as the other batteries in the Victron range. For projects involving an alternator these kind of batteries dont work so well but for simpler projects they give you a quicker installation while still producing good performance. These batteries can be connected in parallel for greater capacity but can not be connected in series to give higher voltage

The internal BMS (Battery Management System) in these batteries means they will shut off in the event of overcharge or under discharge to protect the battery from damage. Thats why they cant be used with an alternator, if the battery were to shut off it would fry the alternator. For a more versatile battery with an external BMS see our Victron Smart LiFePO4 Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery 12,8 Volts 100 Ah

Q: Hi, I'm just curious about how the built in BMS system compares with Victron BMS 712? Is there a functionality gain / loss?

Asked by: Nicholas - 6/7/2020

A: Thank you for your question. First: the BMV 712 is not a BMS. Its a Battery Monitor and can measure the voltage and state of charge of a battery. You can set programmable alarms that could be used to mimic some of the functions of a BMS but in itself it isnt a BMS. A real BMS monitors the voltage and temperature of each cell in the battery and may also actively participate in balancing the cells. In this battery all that is managed inside the battery. This battery has some of the same drawbacks of other batteries with a built-in BMS. First, you cannot access the BMS and use its signal to turn off external devices. This makes it harder to incorporate an alternator into the system. Secondly the internal switchgear in the battery is bulky and expensive and so manufacturers put in as small as they can get away with. That means the battery charge and discharge rate is limited, not by the battery itself but by its own switchgear. If you look at the other Victron batteries that use an external BMS you will see that their allowed charge and discharge rates are much higher.

Q: I am fitting out a trawler for the Loop and then continued coastal cruising. I have totally gutted and am now preparing to rewiring entire boat. Would these batteries be appropriate for use as a house bank, using solar and wind to charge (and using a buck-boost as a secondary charging source)? Alternator protection would still be provided by the start batteries. Do you have any schematics that describe this type of installation?

Asked by: Frank T - 6/13/2020

A: The ideal use for this kind of battery is in a Golf Cart. You don't have room for ancillary equipment in a Golf Cart and the use is very simple, charge it up at night from a charger, run it down in the day time. A boat is a more sophisticated environment with a lot more going on and although the external control gear required by the other kind of Victron lithium battery sounds like a pain to install it give you a lot more control over what is going on. That is why we haven't sold a single one of these batteries for boats or rv's. When you stack them up against the Victron Smart Lithium they don't compare. We don't reach the golf cart market much, our customers are mostly boatsers or rvers.
