SAFETY GUIDELINES
Work or maintenance on the BSLBatt should be carried out by qualied
personal only.
Do not attempt to open or dismantle battery and / or cells.
The electrolyte contained in the battery cells is highly corrosive. In the event of
any damage to or leakage from cells, treat contents with care, do not allow
contact with exposed skin or eyes. DO NOT INGEST!
The Terminals of the BSLBatt should always be considered live, therefore do not place
tools or any other items across the terminals. Do not pierce, short or damage the
terminals in any way. Do not touch the terminals of the battery.
Fire Hazard: Do not discharge battery below specied minimum level as this poses an
increased re risk. Do not attempt to charge a swollen or damaged battery. In the event
of a re, a CO2 or Dry Powder extinguisher should be used. Class D extinguishers are
not suitable.
Dispose of batteries through the proper local regulations. Not suitable for regular
refuse / recycling.

2. Battery Set-up
2.1 General
2.1.1 Turning battery on & O
The battery can be switched on or o by holding down the small recessed button marked
“RESET” for around 3 seconds.
2.1.2 CAN Communication
A VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS “Type B” cable is required for CAN-Bus communication
between the BSL battery and the Victron GX device. Some inverters will use
di󱐱erent cable conguration, please check this with inverter suppliers.(Black to
inverter/GX device, red to battery).
2.1.3 Dry Contacts
Dry Contacts are mostly unused, but for communication with some non-smart
systems please see the table below. Working current should be less than 2A,
mainly to connect with an external indicator light or buzzer
2.1.4 Other Ports
Port 1 (RS485) and port 3 (RS232) are used for programming and retrieving
information only and must be left open.

2.2 Multiple Batteries
2.2.1 Max Number of Parallel Batteries
A maximum of 30 batteries can be connected in parallel. Each battery will require
a unique binary address which can be setup via the dip-switches located on the
front of the battery.
2.2.2 Installing Multiple Batteries
When installing more than one battery in parallel, a standard RJ45 patch network
cable will be required for inter-battery communication. These cables will need to
be connected to port 4 or 5 between all the connected batteries. The ports are
paralleled therefore any port can be used for in or out connection.
2.2.3 Cable Sizing with Multiple Batteries
It is recommended to make use of a common rail bus-bar when more than 4
batteries are to be installed. All positive cables running between the battery and
bus-bar must be the same length and all negative cables must be the same
length. The batteries should be evenly grouped where possible.
The recommended battery cable sizes from the batteries (going to the inverter) in
parallel are as follows: 1 battery - 35mm2, 2 batteries - 50mm2, 3 batteries
70mm2 or 2 × 35mm2, 4 batteries - 95mm2 or 2 × 50mm2

3.2 Battery Set-up on Victron GX Device
1. The VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS Type B cable needs to be connected to the VE-
Can port on the GX device and the second unused VE.Can port needs to be
terminated with the Victron blue terminator. Ensure that the cable is marked
CCGX at the end.
2. Press the enter button on the GX device. This should take you to the device list
page. Scroll down to settings, press enter, and scroll to services and press enter
again. Navigate to the CAN settings and change the CAN speed from 250 KB to
500 KB.
3. Scroll to DVCC and select Switch DVCC on. Flag SHARED VOLTAGE SENSE
and CHARGE LIMIT. Set CCL (charge current limit) to 50% of battery capacity.
4. Navigate back to the device list and the BSL battery should appear on the
device
list.
5. Select the BSL battery set the parameters as follows:
• Charge Voltage 54.5V.
• Charge Current Limit: 100A per battery. (Recommended 80Ah)
• Discharge Current Limit: 150A per battery. (Constant 125Ah)
