The Victron Energy VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS Cable Type A 1.8 m is a purpose-built communication cable for connecting a CAN-bus enabled battery from another brand to a Victron system. If you're building a backup power, RV, or off-grid setup around Victron equipment and a lithium battery that isn't made by Victron, this is the small cable that helps the two sides talk to each other. It's not glamorous, but it is the kind of part that can save a project from stalling out at the finish line.
This is a Victron BMS cable for system builders, installers, and confident DIYers who want their battery and their Victron gear working as one coordinated system rather than two strangers sharing a wall.
The cable's job is simple to describe. It connects a CAN-bus enabled battery that isn't from Victron to a Victron system. The cable name tells you what's on each end: a VE.Can connection on the Victron side and a CAN-bus connection on the battery side.
This cable comes in two types, Type A and Type B. Which one you need depends on the brand of battery you're connecting. Victron publishes a BMS cable manual that lists which cable goes with which battery brand, so you can confirm the match before you buy instead of after you've opened the box. We think that's a far nicer way to spend an afternoon.
At 1.8 meters, the cable gives you some room to work with when your battery and your Victron equipment aren't sitting shoulder to shoulder. Before ordering, measure your planned cable route, including any bends or tight spots, so the length suits your layout.
The product listing gives the weight as 0.2 lbs, so this is a light accessory that's easy to tuck into a toolkit or keep on hand as part of your system documentation and spare parts.
The VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS cable fits any setup where a Victron system and a non-Victron CAN-bus battery need to be connected.
The most useful comparison is between Type A and Type B. Both connect non-Victron CAN-bus batteries to Victron systems, and the difference comes down to which battery brand you're using. Check Victron's BMS cable manual to find which type applies to your battery, then choose accordingly.
It's also different from a generic network or data cable. This cable is made specifically for the VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS connection, which is a good reason to reach for it rather than improvising. And if your battery doesn't have CAN-bus communication, or you're using a battery that is already part of the Victron lineup, this cable isn't the part you're looking for.
This cable is for you if you're connecting a non-Victron battery that has CAN-bus communication to a Victron system. The main thing to settle before purchase is compatibility. Check the battery brand against Victron's cable manual, since that's what determines whether you need Type A or Type B. Also confirm your battery's communication requirements with its manufacturer, and review your system's setup requirements before installation.
This May Be a Good Fit If
It connects a CAN-bus enabled battery that isn't from Victron to a Victron system.
Both types exist, and the right one depends on your battery brand. Victron's VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS cables manual shows which cable to use for which brand. Check it before ordering.
This cable is intended for batteries that are not from Victron. If your battery is a Victron product, confirm the right connection method in its documentation.
