1.0 SAFETY 1.1 Warnings, Cautions and Notes WARNING Death or Injury CAUTION Equipment Damage NOTE Additional Information 1.2 General Warnings WARNING HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE Connect LFP Connect gateway to only Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuits and power sources. All wiring must be completed by qualified personnel to ensure compliance with applicable installation codes and regulations.
This User Manual provides information about the integration of Rolls LFP lithium batteries with Victron Energy devices in a closed-loop configuration using the LFP Connect gateway with installed LFP Connect Card for Victron. Rolls LFP batteries may be used in Energy Storage System (ESS) for self consumption, grid-connected backup and off-grid applications.
Rolls LFP lithium batteries must be set up to work with Power Conversion and Monitoring devices in either an open-loop or closed-loop configuration. Rolls LFP battery charge and discharge settings in a open-loop configuration are set up manually through the controller for the Power Conversion device at the time of installation.
(5) 51.0 V value (approximately 15% SoC) will trigger low battery warning, increase or decrease as preferred. (6) ‘Enable Rolls LFP’ has no relation to the Rolls LFP battery. Refer to Victron manuals for information on setting and function. (7) The recommended minimum is 1.0 hour. A longer period of time may be required to compensate for multiple batteries to achieve a smooth completion of charge.

BMS (250 kbit/s). Return to the Device List and the CCGX should display Rolls LFP as one of the devices along with the battery SOC, Voltage and Amps. If you have multiple batteries a single entry will show up, which represents all batteries.
(7) SVS should be set to OFF (there have been instances of conflict reported by Victron Support when SVS is set to ON and used with a Lithium BMS). (8) Limit charge current works across the whole system. MPPTs are automatically prioritized over the mains. In case the Rolls LFP BMS requests a maximum charge current that is different from the user-configurable setting, the lower of the two will be used.
