Victron Energy Battery Monitor BMV-712 Smart

Battery Monitor BMV-712 Smart

With integrated Bluetooth

With its built-in Bluetooth, the BMV Smart is ready for the age of the "Internet of Things" (IdD). Most other Victron Energy products have Bluetooth as well. Wireless communication between products thus simplifies system installation and improves performance.

• Update to the latest software when new features are available.

Easy installation

All electrical connections are made to the current shunt using the PCB connector. The shunt is connected to the monitor via a standard RJ12 telephone cable. Included in delivery: RJ 12 cable (10 m) and battery cable with fuse (2 m); No other components are required.

Also included are a separate front panel for a square or round display; a safety ring for rear mounting and screws for front mounting

Monitoring the midpoint voltage

One damaged cell or battery can destroy an entire large, expensive battery bank. When batteries are connected in series, measuring the midpoint voltage can provide a timely warning. Please also refer to the BMV manual, section 5.2 for more information. We recommend our Battery Balancer (BMS012201000) to maximize the life of lead-acid batteries connected in series.

Very low current consumption from the battery

Current consumption: 0.7 Ah per month (1 mA) at 12 V and 0.6 Ah per month (0.8 mA) at 24 V In particular, lithium-ion batteries have almost no capacity left when they are discharged to the point of shutdown due to low voltage. After shutdown due to low voltage, the reserve capacity of a lithium-ion battery is approximately 1 Ah per 1000 Ah of battery capacity. The battery will be damaged if the remaining reserve capacity is drawn from the battery. For example, a residual current of 10 mA can damage a 200 Ah battery if the system is left in a discharged state for over 8 days.

Bistable alarm relay

Prevents increased current draw in the event of an alarm.
