Victron Energy BMV 712 Smart Battery Monitor with Bluetooth

The Van Genius is here to clarify the need and advantages of the Victron Energy BMV 712 Smart Battery Monitor with Bluetooth! This is the latest version of the BMV Amp Hour Meter, now called the BMV712. It replaces the BMV702 that went before it by adding built in Bluetooth.  It keeps track of current flowing in and out of a battery bank and uses a sophisticated algorithm to read out the state of charge of the battery in Percentage Remaining and Amp Hours Remaining. It also displays Volts and Amps, time to go, and Consumed Energy and keeps track of Historic Data including Battery Efficiency, Average Discharge, Deepest Discharge, Number of Cycles, Overvoltage, and Undervoltage Alarms.

  • Victron Energy BMV 712 battery monitor
  • Monitors volts, amps, amp hours and time to go for a single battery bank.
  • Reads voltage (only) for a second bank, OR midpoint voltage 
  • Can read temperature (with addition of optional temperature sensor)
  • Included shunt measures up to 500 Amps
  • For use with DC systems from 12 to 70V
  • Visual and audible alarms and programmable alarm
  • 10 meter cable, connectors and fuse included.
  • We can special order shorter cables for a small charge but it will delay your order. 
  • Special order cables come in 0.3m, 0.9m, 1.8m, 3m, and 5m
  • Removeable bezel allows round or square face for display

  •  

    The primary advantage of the BMV 712 over the BMV 702 and separate Bluetooth Dongle is that by building in the Bluetooth component into the meter the VE Direct port is available for other uses.

    Victron Smart Shunt

    The Van Genius helps break down the Smart Shunt and why you might add it to your electrical system!

    Your phone acts as the display. The SmartShunt connects via Bluetooth to the Victron Connect App on your phone (or tablet) and you can conveniently read out all monitored battery parameters, like state of charge, time to go, historical information and much more.

    Alternatively the SmartShunt can be connected and be read by a GX device. Connection to the SmartShunt is made via a VE.Direct cable.

    The SmartShunt is a good alternative for a BMV battery monitor, especially for systems where battery monitoring is needed but less wiring and clutter is wanted.
    The SmartShunt is equipped with Bluetooth, a VE.Direct port and a connection that can be used for: monitoring a second battery, midpoint monitoring or a temperature sensor.
