Victron Battery Monitor Bmv-712

Victron Battery Monitor BMV-712 is a high-precision device designed to monitor the state of charge (SOC), voltage, current, and ampere-hour capacity of your battery bank. It provides accurate and reliable information to help you optimize battery performance and ensure safety.

Features of Victron Battery Monitor BMV-712 Smart:

1. Precise Battery Monitoring: The BMV-712 Smart measures several critical parameters, including voltage, current, power, state of charge (SOC), time to go, and ampere-hours consumed. This data helps users understand their battery’s health and usage in detail.
2. Bluetooth Connectivity: Built-in Bluetooth allows you to monitor and configure the BMV-712 directly from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop using the VictronConnect app. This wireless capability makes it easy to check your battery status remotely and adjust settings as needed.
3. Shunt-Based Measurement: The system comes with a 500A/50mV shunt, which ensures high accuracy in measuring current flow in and out of the battery. The shunt is installed in the negative line of the battery, minimizing losses and inaccuracies.
4. State of Charge (SOC) Calculation: The monitor provides an accurate calculation of the battery’s state of charge, taking into account Peukert’s exponent, charge efficiency, and discharge curves to provide a more accurate reading.
5. Programmable Alarms and Relays: The BMV-712 includes an audible alarm and a relay for signaling critical battery conditions such as low or high voltage and state of charge, enabling users to take timely action to protect their batteries.
6. Easy to Install and Setup: The unit is easy to install, and the setup process can be done via the VictronConnect app or using the built-in interface. The display and user interface are intuitive and user-friendly.
7. Historical Data Logging: It stores historical data, including the number of cycles, depth of discharge, and other relevant metrics, allowing users to analyze and improve battery usage and management.
8. Multiple Battery Voltage Support: Compatible with a wide range of battery voltages, from 6.5V to 70V, making it versatile for various battery systems, including 12V, 24V, and 48V setups.
9. Low Power Consumption: Designed for efficiency, it has a very low power consumption (less than 1mA), ensuring it does not significantly impact battery performance.
10. Auxiliary Battery Voltage Monitoring: In addition to monitoring the main battery bank, the BMV-712 can also monitor a second battery’s voltage, which is particularly useful for systems that include a starter battery and a house battery.
