Victron Energy BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor - Bluetooth Capable, Grey

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 offers advanced real-time monitoring for your battery system with built-in Bluetooth connectivity, making it compatible with the IoT ecosystem. This feature allows seamless wireless communication with other Victron Energy products, simplifying installation and enabling easy system integration. Using the Victron Bluetooth app, users can customize settings, monitor critical data such as voltage, current, power, and state of charge, view historical usage patterns, and perform software updates directly from their smartphones or Bluetooth-enabled devices. The monitor's user-friendly design includes quick connect PCB connections to the current shunt via a standard RJ12 telephone cable, with all necessary components such as a 10-meter RJ12 cable, a 2-meter battery cable with fuse, and mounting hardware included for straightforward installation. The BMV-712 is equipped with midpoint voltage monitoring, providing early warnings for individual cell or battery failures, which is vital for preventing damage to expensive battery banks, especially when batteries are connected in series. For optimal battery longevity, Victron recommends pairing the monitor with their Battery Balancer (BMS012201000). The device's extremely low power consumption, approximately 0.7Ah per month at 12V, minimizes battery drain during long-term system shutdowns. Its bi-stable alarm relay prevents unnecessary current draw during alarm conditions, while its comprehensive features include measuring battery voltage, current, power, ampere-hours consumed, and remaining discharge time. Programmable visual and audible alarms, along with a relay to control non-critical loads or activate generators, provide flexible system management. The BMV-712 also supports high current measurement capabilities up to 10,000 Amps with a 500 Amp quick connect shunt and VE.Direct communication port for expanded connectivity. Its broad input voltage range from 6.5V to 70V makes it suitable for various battery types, including lead-acid and lithium-ion. Designed for professional and DIY applications alike, this monitor ensures reliable battery management and system optimization, backed by a comprehensive warranty.
