Smart Battery Monitor - BMV-712 - Grey - Bluetooth Capable
Features:
- Bluetooth inside With Bluetooth built-in, the BMV Smart is ready for the Internet of Things (IoT) era. With Bluetooth being implemented in most other Victron Energy products, wireless communication between products will simplify system installation and enhance performance.
- Download the Victron Bluetooth app Use a smartphone or other Bluetooth enabled device to - customize settings, - monitor all important data on single screen, - view historical data, and to - update the software when new features become available.
- Easy to install All electrical connections are to the quick connect PCB on the current shunt. The shunt connects to the monitor with a standard RJ12 telephone cable. Included: RJ 12 cable (10 m) and battery cable with fuse (2 m); no other components needed. Also included are a separate front bezel for a square or round display appearance, a securing ring for rear mounting and screws for front mounting.
- Midpoint voltage monitoring One bad cell or one bad battery can destroy a large, expensive battery bank. When batteries are connected in series, a timely warning can be generated by measuring the midpoint voltage. Please see the BMV manual, section 5.2, for more information. We recommend our Battery Balancer (BMS012201000) to maximize service life of series-connected lead-acid batteries.
- Very low current draw from the battery Current consumption: 0,7Ah per month (1mA) @12V and 0,6Ah per month (0,8mA) @ 24V Especially Li-ion batteries have virtually no capacity left when discharged until low voltage shutdown. After shutdown due to low cell voltage, the capacity reserve of a Li-ion battery is approximately 1Ah per 100Ah battery capacity. The battery will be damaged if the remaining capacity reserve is drawn from the battery. A residual current of 10mA for example may damage a 200Ah battery if the system is left in discharged state during more than 8 days.
- Bi-stable alarm relay Prevents increased current draw in case of an alarm.
- Other features - Battery voltage, current, power, ampere-hours consumed and state of charge - Remaining time at the current rate of discharge - Programmable visual and audible alarm - Programmable relay, to turn off non critical loads or to run a generator when needed - 500 Amp quick connect shunt and connection kit - Shunt selection capability up to 10.000 Amps - VE.Direct communication port - Stores a wide range of historical events, which can be used to evaluate usage patterns and battery health - Wide input voltage range: 6,5 70V - High current measurement resolution: 10 mA (0,01A)

The Victron Energy BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor in grey is an advanced device designed for precise battery management and system monitoring. Featuring built-in Bluetooth, this monitor allows seamless wireless communication with your smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled devices, enabling easy customization, real-time data viewing, and firmware updates through the Victron Bluetooth app. Its straightforward installation process includes a quick connect PCB on the current shunt, a standard RJ12 cable, and all necessary mounting components, making setup quick and hassle-free without requiring additional parts.
Designed to protect your battery bank, the BMV-712 offers midpoint voltage monitoring, which is critical for identifying potential issues with individual cells or batteries in series configurations. This feature helps prevent costly damage by providing timely alerts, and it is recommended to use alongside Victron's Battery Balancer for optimal battery lifespan. The monitor consumes very low current, drawing only about 0.7Ah per month at 12V, making it suitable even for sensitive Li-ion batteries that require minimal discharge during inactivity. The bi-stable alarm relay prevents unnecessary power drain during alarms, ensuring your system remains efficient.
Additional features include comprehensive battery status metrics such as voltage, current, power, ampere-hours consumed, and state of charge. It calculates remaining time at the current discharge rate and offers programmable visual and audible alarms, as well as relay controls to disconnect non-critical loads or activate a generator when needed. The device supports high current measurement resolution of 10 mA, with a shunt capacity up to 10,000 Amps, and includes the VE.Direct communication port for data integration. Its wide input voltage range from 6.5V to 70V makes it versatile for various battery systems, from small 12V setups to large 48V or higher configurations.
With a 500 Amp quick connect shunt and comprehensive historical data logging, the Victron BMV-712 provides robust monitoring and system management capabilities. It is an essential component for ensuring reliable battery performance, prolonging battery life, and optimizing energy use. For detailed installation instructions and warranty information, refer to the provided manual and warranty documents. Please note, this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause reproductive harm, and proper handling is recommended. Contact your dealer for support, repairs, or returns related to this product.
