Victron VE.Bus BMS to BMS 12/200 Alternator Control Cable: Precision Charge Management for Lithium Battery Systems
Seamless Integration Between VE.Bus BMS and Smart BMS 12/200
The Victron VE.Bus BMS to BMS 12/200 Alternator Control Cable (ASS030510100) enables coordinated charge control between the VE.Bus BMS and the Smart BMS 12/200. This dedicated cable allows the BMS 12/200 to regulate alternator charging based on real-time battery status, ensuring safe and efficient energy delivery to your lithium battery bank.
In a dual-BMS architecture, the VE.Bus BMS communicates directly with the lithium battery, monitoring cell voltages and alarm states. The alternator control cable transmits these signals to the BMS 12/200, which then dynamically limits alternator current to a safe level. If a battery alarm is triggered, the BMS 12/200 immediately halts the charging process, protecting both the alternator and the battery from potential damage.
Engineered for Reliable Signal Transmission
Constructed with pre-terminated wire ferrules, an inline barrel connector, and an insulated ring terminal, this cable ensures secure, low-resistance connections. The adhesive-lined heat shrink provides strain relief and environmental protection, reducing the risk of signal interruption in mobile or marine installations. By maintaining a robust communication link, the cable helps prevent overcharging, overheating, and premature battery degradation.
Key Features
- Enables charge current limiting by the BMS 12/200 based on VE.Bus BMS data
- Automatically stops alternator charging during battery alarm conditions
- Pre-crimped ferrules and barrel connector for quick, reliable installation
- Adhesive-lined heat shrink for strain relief and moisture resistance
- Compatible with Victron VE.Bus BMS and Smart BMS 12/200 systems
Critical Installation Considerations
For safe operation, the lithium battery and any connected loads must remain isolated from ground. Additionally, when this cable is in use, the DC load output on the BMS 12/200 is disabled. Refer to the BMS 12/200 manual for complete installation guidelines.

WARRANTY
Victron Energy Limited Warranty Policy
Victron Energy warrants its products to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of 5 years from the date of purchase by the end user, with a maximum of 66 months from the Victron Energy invoice date. Exceptions on this are: lead acid batteries; 2 years from date of purchase by the end user, with a maximum of 30 months from the Victron Energy invoice date, Lithium-ion batteries; 3 years from date of purchase by the end user. In addition to this proof of correct battery usage is required when making a battery warranty claim.
During this period, Victron Energy will, at its option, repair or replace the defective product free of charge. The warranty does not include performing or reimbursing de‐installation, transportation and re‐installation. This warranty will be considered void if the unit has suffered any physical damage or alteration, either internally or externally, and does not cover damages arising from improper use like:
• Reverse of battery polarity.
• Inadequate connection.
• Mechanical shock or deformation.
• Contact with liquid or oxidation by condensation.
• Use in inappropriate environment (dust, corrosive vapor, humidity, high temperature, biological infestation...).
• Breakage or damage due to lightning.
• Connection terminals and screws destroyed or other damages, like overheat, due to insufficient tightening.
• For any electronical breakage except due to lightning (reverse polarity, over‐voltage due to external cause), the state ofthe internal control diode and of the inputs/output X and Y capacitors determine the warranty.
This warranty will not apply where the product has been misused, neglected, improperly installed, or repaired by anyone else than Victron Energy or one of its authorized Qualified Service Partners. In order to qualify for the warranty, the product must not be disassembled or modified.
Repair or replacement are our sole remedies and Victron Energy shall not be liable for damages, whether direct, incidental,special, or consequential, even caused by negligence or fault.
