The Victron Energy VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS Cable Type B 1.8m is a communication cable that links a CAN-bus enabled battery from another brand to a Victron system. If you are building a backup power, RV, or off-grid setup around a Victron system and a battery that did not come from Victron, this is the small cable that bridges the two. It is a Victron BMS cable, which makes it easy to spot in a parts list and just as easy to overlook until installation day.
It is small, it is simple, and it is exactly the sort of part that keeps a good project from stalling at the finish line. Whether you are a homeowner planning backup power, an RVer upgrading a coach, an off-grid adventurer, or a mobile business owner, here is what you need to know before you order.
This cable is made to connect a CAN-bus enabled battery that is not from Victron to a Victron system. That means you are not limited to one battery brand when you build around Victron equipment, provided your battery supports CAN-bus communication.
Victron offers this cable in two types, A and B. This listing is for Type B. The two types are not interchangeable by guesswork, so Victron's manual explains which cable to use with which brand of battery. Checking it before you buy is the single most useful step you can take.
At 1.8 meters, this cable suits setups where your battery and Victron equipment sit reasonably close together. Measure the route the cable will actually travel, including bends and corners, before you decide. If your components are farther apart than that, confirm that a different cable length is available for your needs.
The part number is ASS030720018. Keep it handy for your parts list, your build notes, and any future service conversations.
This cable is a connection part, so its value shows up in the systems around it. Where a Victron system is paired with a CAN-bus enabled battery from another brand, it may be useful in situations like these:
In each case, confirm your specific battery and Victron equipment against the manual before purchasing.
The most useful comparison is between the two cable types Victron offers. Type A and Type B exist because different battery brands call for different cables, so the right choice depends on your battery rather than on preference. The manual spells out which cable belongs with which brand.
It is also worth separating this cable from the power cables in your system. High-current battery cables carry energy, while this cable is a communication link between a CAN-bus enabled battery and a Victron system. They do different jobs, and one cannot stand in for the other.
The best fit comes down to two questions: does your battery support CAN-bus, and does the manual point your battery brand to Type B? If you can answer yes to both, you are in the right place. If you are unsure, check the manual or contact our team before ordering, since this is a compatibility-driven part.
This may be a good fit if:
Not sure which Victron device or port your setup will use? Confirm that detail before purchase as well, so the whole system comes together in one go.
What does this cable do?
It connects a CAN-bus enabled battery that is not from Victron to a Victron system.
What is the difference between Type A and Type B?
Victron offers two cable types, A and B. Which one you need depends on your battery brand, and the manual details the pairings.
