1. Introduction
The Discover AES LiFePO4 Battery includes a Battery Management System (BMS) within each battery
pack. The BMS interfaces with the Victron GX device and can support multiple batteries connected in
parallel.
These instructions provide information about the integration of Discover AES Lithium batteries with
Victron Energy devices in a Closed Loop configuration using the AES LYNK Communication Gateway
with installed AES LYNK Edge Card for Victron. AES batteries can be use in an Energy Storage System
(ESS) for self consumption, Grid backup and Off-grid applications. These instructions apply to an off-
grid application.
NOTE: In a Victron networked system the charging variables will be managed automatically by the
