The Cyrix-Li-ct is a crucial addition to this protection network. Similar to its Cyrix-ct counterpart, the Cyrix-Li-ct performs an essential parallel function. It connects in parallel a lead-acid starter battery and a LiFePO4 battery under the following conditions:

• High disconnection of the charger from the VE.Bus BMS
• Detection of a voltage of 13,4 V (or 26,8 V) or higher at one of its connection terminals
• Floating mode control output, indicating overvoltage or overtemperature of the switchgear.
• Battery voltage falling below the 13,2 V threshold
• LED on: indicates that the device is activated
• LED flashes for 10 seconds: signals that the device is deactivated
• LED flashes for 2 seconds: shows that the device is in the process of connecting
• LED flashing for 2 seconds: indicates that the device is in the process of switching off
• LED flashing for 0.25 seconds: warns of an alarm which could include over-temperature conditions, voltage above 16V, both batteries with voltages below 10V, or one of the batteries with voltage below 2V

In addition, the Cyrix-Li-ct has a StartAssist function that provides an extra boost to the starter. A short press of the negative will activate the relay for 30 seconds, which can be a great help in difficult starting situations.

Safety is a priority at all times, and the Cyrix-Li-ct incorporates a transient voltage suppressor that limits voltage spikes in the event of sudden shutdown due to cell overvoltage or overtemperature.
