REC Active 12-Volt BMS (Battery Management System) Kit
- In stock, ready to ship
- Inventory on the way
Higher Wire is proud to be offering REC BMS units for our customers! The Active 4S BMS is perfect for 12-volt applications. We use REC BMS for larger builds, especially those that want to take advantage of CAN communication with Victron, SMA and other inverters or charge controllers.
We're offering an all-in-one kit to easily build your own energy storage system using the REC Active BMS. It includes the BMS, premade wiring harness, shunt and 200a contactor. It also includes the wifi module, which is required to program the BMS, as well as an optional CANBus cable for Victron or others.
These components will support 5,000 watts at 12 volts. Need more? Contact us for a custom kit or check out our REC 2Q kits for higher-voltage systems.
