Victron Energy Victron VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS Type B Cable 1.8m Length | For Non-Victron CAN-bus Batteries | ASS030720118 The Victron VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS Type B cable (1.8m) is an essential communication accessory designed to seamlessly integrate specific non-Victron Energy CAN-bus enabled batteries into a Victron Energy system. This 1.8-metre cable facilitates reliable data exchange, ensuring your third-party battery's Battery Management System (BMS) can communicate critical information like voltage, current limits, state of charge (SOC), and temperature to your Victron GX device (e.g., Cerbo GX) or VE.Can network. By providing the correct pin remapping for Type B CAN-bus protocols, this cable enables your Victron system to accurately monitor and control the charging and discharging of your compatible battery bank, optimising performance and extending battery life. IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY: This is a Type B cable. Ensure your non-Victron CAN-bus battery specifically requires a Type B connection for proper communication. Key Features ▶ Seamless Integration — Connects compatible third-party CAN-bus BMS batteries to Victron Energy systems. ▶ Type B Protocol Support — Specifically designed for batteries requiring the Type B CAN-bus communication standard. ▶ Optimal Length — A 1.8-metre cable provides flexibility for various installation setups. ▶ Genuine Victron Accessory — Ensures reliable performance and full compatibility with Victron GX devices and VE.Can networks. ▶ Enhanced System Monitoring — Enables real-time battery data (SOC, voltage, current, temperature) to be displayed on Victron monitoring platforms.

Typical Applications Application Description Off-Grid Solar Systems Integrating compatible third-party lithium batteries with Victron inverters, chargers, and monitoring. Hybrid Energy Systems Connecting supported battery banks to Victron energy management solutions for optimal performance. Marine & Automotive Enabling communication between non-Victron batteries and Victron monitoring/charging equipment in mobile setups. Common Questions What is the primary function of this cable? This cable connects specific non-Victron CAN-bus enabled batteries to a Victron Energy system, allowing the battery's BMS to communicate vital data to Victron GX devices for monitoring and control. How do I determine if I need a Type A or Type B cable? This cable is Type B. You must refer to your specific battery manufacturer's documentation or Victron's official compatibility list to confirm whether your battery requires a Type A or Type B VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS cable. Using the incorrect type will prevent communication. Can this cable be extended for longer runs? Victron recommends using the specified cable length (1.8m) for optimal communication reliability. While longer cables exist (e.g., 5m Type B), extending this specific 1.8m cable with generic network cables is not advised as it can lead to signal integrity issues and unreliable data transfer. What Victron devices are compatible with this cable? This cable connects to the VE.Can port or BMS-Can port of a Victron GX device (e.g., Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX). The GX device then acts as the central communication hub for your Victron system. Installation Notes Ensure the cable's end labelled 'CAN-bus BMS' is securely plugged into your compatible battery's BMS port. The other end, labelled 'VE.Can', should be connected to either the VE.Can port or the BMS-Can port on your Victron GX device. Refer to both your battery manufacturer's manual and the Victron Energy GX device manual for specific configuration details and settings. Avoid using generic Ethernet cables, as they lack the correct pin-out and impedance matching required for reliable CAN-bus communication. Before You Buy Verify Battery Compatibility: Double-check that your specific non-Victron CAN-bus enabled battery model is listed as compatible with a Type B cable. Check Victron System Requirements: Confirm your Victron Energy system includes a GX device with a VE.Can or BMS-Can port for this cable to connect to. Review Documentation: Always consult the manuals for both your battery and your Victron GX device for detailed setup and configuration instructions. Cable Type is Crucial: Ensure you are purchasing the correct cable type (Type B) as Type A cables have a different pin configuration and are not interchangeable. Always verify product specifications and compatibility with your existing system components before purchase. Victron Energy products typically come with a 5-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
