Victron Energy BMV-700 Blue Power Precision Battery Monitor

Victron BMV-700: Your All-in-One Battery Management Solution for Campervans, Caravans, Motorhomes & Boats

The Victron BMV-700 series is a high-precision battery monitor designed to give you complete control over your battery health and performance in your campervan, caravan, motorhome, or boat.

More Than Just a Gauge: A Smart Battery Management System

Think of the BMV-700 as a comprehensive 'fuel gauge' for your batteries. It goes beyond simply displaying voltage and current. By integrating the current flowing in and out of the battery, it calculates ampere-hours consumed, a crucial metric for understanding your battery's remaining capacity.

Taking All Factors into Account:

The BMV-700 doesn't stop there. It factors in additional variables that can affect battery health and capacity, such as discharge current, temperature, and even the age of your battery (information for age needs to be entered manually). This is accomplished through sophisticated software algorithms that ensure accurate readings.

Beyond the Basics: Information at Your Fingertips

While the BMV-700 displays essential information like voltage, current, and ampere-hours consumed, it offers a wealth of additional data:

• State of Charge: Get a clear picture of how much usable capacity remains in your battery.
• Time-to-Go: Estimate how long your battery will last at the current discharge rate.
• Power Consumption: Monitor your real-time power usage in Watts.

Wireless Monitoring with Bluetooth Smart (Optional):

For added convenience, you can connect the optional Bluetooth Smart dongle to your BMV-700. This allows you to monitor your battery health and performance remotely using your smartphone, tablet, or other compatible devices.

Simple Installation and Easy Setup:

The BMV-700 is designed for user-friendliness. All electrical connections are made to the quick connect PCB on the current shunt. The shunt itself connects to the monitor with a standard RJ12 cable (included). The package also includes a battery cable with a fuse and all necessary mounting hardware for a clean and secure installation.

Intuitive Programming:

Setting up your BMV-700 is a breeze. You can use the on-screen menus with scrolling text instructions for a guided setup. Alternatively, download the Victron smartphone app (requires Bluetooth Smart dongle) for a quick and easy configuration process.

Standard Features:

The BMV-700 series boasts a wide range of features to give you complete control over your battery management:

• Voltage, current, power, ampere-hours consumed, and state of charge
• Remaining time at current discharge rate
• Programmable alarms (visual and audible)
• Programmable relay to manage non-critical loads or activate a generator
• 500 Amp quick connect shunt and connection kit (shunt selection up to 10,000 Amps available)
