BMV-700 battery monitor - Victron Energy

Product information

Product description

Battery 'fuel gauge', remaining time indication and much more. The remaining battery capacity depends on the ampere-hours consumed, the discharge current, the temperature and the age of the battery. Complex software algorithms are needed to take all these variables into account. In addition to the main display options such as voltage, current and ampere-hours consumed, the BMV-700 series also indicates charging status, time remaining and power consumption in watts.

Bluetooth Smart

Use the Bluetooth Smart dongle to monitor your batteries with Apple or Android smartphones, tablets, MacBooks and other devices.

Easy to install

All electrical connections are made via the printed circuit board with quick coupling on the current shunt. The shunt connects to the monitor with a standard RJ12 telephone cable. Included: RJ 12 cable (10m) and battery cable with fuse (2m); no further parts are needed. Also included is a separate ring for the appearance of the front of a square or round display, a retaining ring for rear mounting and screws for front mounting.

Easy to program (with your smartphone!)

A quick installation menu and a detailed setup menu with scrolling texts help you navigate through the various settings. You can also opt for the quick and easy solution: download the smartphone app (Bluetooth Smart dongle required)
