Victron Battery Monitor BMV-712 (Grey) Smart

📝 Victron Battery Monitor BMV-712 (Grey) Smart

The Victron BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor (Grey) delivers advanced, precision monitoring for battery systems in caravans, RVs, boats, and off-grid solar setups. Acting as a highly accurate fuel gauge for your batteries, it tracks voltage, current, ampere-hours consumed, state of charge, time-to-go, and power in watts — giving you total control over your energy usage. With Bluetooth built-in, it connects seamlessly to the VictronConnect app, making setup, programming, and live monitoring easier than ever.

⭐ ESSENTIAL BENEFITS

• Precision battery monitoring – displays real-time voltage, current, state of charge, amp-hours consumed, and discharge time.
• Bluetooth built-in – configure and monitor settings wirelessly via the VictronConnect app.
• Dual input capability – measure a second battery voltage, temperature, or midpoint voltage with custom alarms.
• Smart midpoint voltage monitoring – detects imbalances in series-connected batteries before costly damage occurs.
• Quick, clean installation – includes 10m RJ12 cable, 2m battery cable with fuse, and 500A quick-connect shunt.
• Programmable relay and alarms – manage loads or trigger a generator automatically.
• Comprehensive data logging – stores historical data to assess battery performance and usage trends.
• Wide voltage range – supports systems from 6.5V to 95V, suitable for both 12V and 24V battery setups.

⚙️ HOW IT WORKS

The BMV-712 Smart continuously measures current and voltage, using intelligent algorithms to calculate state of charge, amp-hours used, and time-to-go. It connects via Bluetooth or VE.Direct to other Victron devices and the VictronConnect app for live monitoring and firmware updates. It also features a bi-stable alarm relay, which reduces power draw when triggered, and can control devices such as generators or alarms.
