While the alternative, four 12 V batteries in series, will work, it will require more periodic balancing time. \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Victron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45901410533525,"sku":"VIC-LYN034160200","price":922.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0664\/8974\/5557\/files\/victron-lynx-smart-bms-500-front-vic-lyn034160200.webp?v=1787442602"},{"product_id":"victron-lynx-smart-bms-500-ng-m10","title":"Victron Lynx Smart BMS 500 NG (NextGen) M10","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOptimize Your Energy Storage with Victron Lynx Smart BMS 500 NG (NextGen) M10 for Victron Lithium Batteries\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTake control of your energy storage with the \u003cstrong\u003eVictron Lynx Smart BMS 500 NG (NextGen)\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed specifically for \u003cstrong\u003eVictron Lithium NG batteries\u003c\/strong\u003e.
