Building 12V1200Ah LiPo 16 cells. But boat system is all Victron (just want a cheaper LiPo). Can an overkill BMS drive the Victron Lynx Smart BMS? Want to use the Overkill output only to sent a signal to the Lynx Smart BMS to disconnect/reconnect. There are high and low inputs in the Lynx that should work.
 
By LiPo, I assume you don't mean Lithium Polymer or pouch cells. You mean LiFePO4 or LFP.

  1. Given that the overkill doesn't output any signals.
  2. Given the Lynx is designed to work specifically with Victron Smart Lithium Batteries.

Conclusion: No way.
 
Got it. Thanks
REC BMS seems to have a simple interface to Victron bus. So can I use that to
a. Work as a safety outside the Victron settings? Using a 500A relay.
b. Send instrictions to dial down charging when the battery gets full to Quattro, MPPT, alternator controller? I want that driven by the weakest cell, not the entire battery.
c. Display cell level info in Victron Color (or Cerbo)? Or do I need the Rec screen forth that?

I like it because it does both safety shut down and internal balancing.
Did I get this right?
