Auto-detection of nominal system voltage.Auto re-calibration each time the battery is fully charged (to ensure accuracy is maintained).Displays: Voltage / Current / Power / Ah Consumed / State of Charge (%) / Time-to-go / Total kWh charged/discharged.The voltages either side of the mid-point are compared and the deviation displayed in % and V, with a programmable alarm providing a warning that the deviation is too great. This allows detection of a bad cell or a bad battery which can potentially destroy the other connected batteries by over-charging.

Mid-point voltage monitoring of one bank of batteries connected in series (or banks of series-connected batteries joined in parallel).

Battery capacity reduces as temperature increases so the sensor measurement can be fed into the monitor to adjust displayed capacity based on temperature.

Temperature monitoring of a single battery/bank using an optional temperature sensor.

Once the battery monitor is panel-mounted in a suitable location (with or without the supplied square bezel) it is connected to the shunt's PCB using a single RJ12 data/power cable and programmed using the on-board menu.īuilt-in Bluetooth allows you to display many of the monitor' features via any Android or Apple device or laptop and most settings of the monitor can be configured with the VictronConnect appĪs an alternative to monitoring the voltage of a 2nd battery the BMV-712 shunt's 2nd/auxiliary input can be used for the following:

The shunt is fitted in-line with the leisure/house battery's negative cable, the starter/auxiliary battery's negative cable is connected to the shunt's output and fused +ve supplies are taken from each battery into the shunt's 2 inputs. It essentially acts as a battery 'fuel gauge' for anyone needing to keep a check on the performance of their battery or battery bank and can monitor the voltage of a 2nd battery. The information displayed by the BMV-712 includes voltage, current draw, Ah consumed, % charge level, 'time-to-go' and it features a programmable alarm and in-built relay to trigger external equipment under an alarm condition (note: information displayed for 2nd battery is voltage only). The BMV-712 'Smart' is Victron's high precision multi-function battery monitor with built-in Bluetooth.

Prevents increased current draw in case of an alarm.Victron BMV-712 'Smart' Battery Monitor - Bluetooth Built-In (2 Batteries/Banks) - BAM030712000 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. The battery will be damaged if the remaining capacity reserve is drawn from the battery. After shutdown due to low cell voltage, the capacity reserve of a Li-ion battery is approximately 1Ah per 100Ah battery capacity. We recommend the Battery Balancer (BMS012201000) to maximize service life of series-connected lead-acid batteries.Ĭurrent consumption: 0,7Ah per month (1mA) and 0,6Ah per month (0,8mA) 24V Especially Li-ion batteries have virtually no capacity left when discharged until low voltage shutdown. Please see the BMV manual, section 5.2, for more information. When batteries are connected in series, a timely warning can be generated by measuring the midpoint voltage. One bad cell or one bad battery can destroy a large, expensive battery bank. Included: RJ 12 cable (10 m) and battery cable with fuse (2 m) no other components needed.Īlso included are a separate front bezel for a square or round display appearance, a securing ring for rear mounting and screws for front mounting. The shunt connects to the monitor with a standard RJ12 telephone cable.

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.Īll electrical connections are to the quick connect PCB on the current shunt. With Bluetooth being implemented in most other Victron Energy products, wireless communication between products will simplify system installation and enhance performance. With Bluetooth built-in, the BMV Smart is ready for the Internet of Things (IoT) era. Wiper Blades & Windscreen Wiper Equipment.
