Key Features
Safe for Li-ion Batteries
Disengages immediately if the BMS signals cell overvoltage or over temperature, protecting your battery bank.
Start Assist
Energize the relay for 30 seconds with a short negative pulse to start a vehicle in emergencies.
BMS Integration
Connects directly to a VE.Bus BMS for seamless control.
How Does It Work with VE.Bus BMS?
When the VE.Bus BMS detects a cell overvoltage or over temperature, its control output becomes free floating, causing the Cyrix-Li-ct to disengage. This prevents damage to the Li-ion battery.
Compatibility and Use Cases
For systems with a lead-acid starter battery and a LiFePO4 house battery. Common in marine, RV, and off-grid setups where lithium is used.
Comparison with Cyrix-Li-Charge
The Cyrix-Li-ct is a combiner that connects and disconnects batteries, while the Cyrix-Li-Charge is a charge relay that only allows charging. For integrating lithium with a starter battery, the Cyrix-Li-ct is recommended.
