Victron Energy BMV-712 Smart Precision Battery Monitor plus Bluetooth Connectivity

Victron BMV-712: Smart Battery Monitoring for Peak Performance in Your Campervan, Caravan, Motorhome, or Boat

The Victron BMV-712 series takes battery monitoring to the next level, offering complete control over your battery health and performance in your campervan, caravan, motorhome, or boat.

Seamless Bluetooth Connectivity:

The BMV-712 boasts built-in Bluetooth, eliminating the need for a separate dongle. This aligns perfectly with the growing trend of Bluetooth connectivity in Victron Energy products, simplifying system installations and promoting smoother communication between devices for enhanced performance.

Early Detection of Battery Issues:

The BMV-712 helps safeguard your valuable battery bank by monitoring midpoint voltage. This allows for early detection of potential problems caused by a single faulty cell or battery in a series connection, preventing costly damage before it occurs. Refer to the BMV manual, section 5.2, for more details on this crucial feature.

Ultra-Low Current Draw:

The BMV-712 is especially gentle on your batteries, drawing a minimal current of only 0.7 Ah per month (1 mA) at 12V and 0.6 Ah per month (0.8 mA) at 24V. This is particularly important for Li-ion batteries, which can be permanently damaged if their remaining capacity reserve is drained due to a high self-discharge rate from the monitor. For instance, a 10 mA residual current could harm a 200 Ah battery left in a discharged state for more than 8 days.

Comprehensive Battery Management Features:

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, the BMV-712 offers a comprehensive suite of features for complete battery management:

• Essential Data Display: Monitor battery voltage, current, power, ampere-hours consumed, and state of charge for informed decisions.
• Remaining Time Estimation: Get an accurate estimate of how long your battery will last at the current discharge rate.
• Programmable Alarms: Set visual and audible alerts to warn you of potential issues.
• Programmable Relay Control: Automate tasks like turning off non-critical loads or starting a generator based on pre-set conditions.
• Flexible Shunt Options: Choose from a wide range of shunt options, up to 10,000 Amps, to accommodate your specific system requirements.
• VE.Direct Communication: Enables data logging and integration with other Victron systems for a centralized control experience.
• Historical Data Storage: Analyze historical data to understand usage patterns and optimize battery health.
• Wide Input Voltage Range: Compatible with systems ranging from 6.5 to 70V.
• High Current Measurement Resolution: Provides precise readings with a resolution of 10 mA (0.01 A).
• Additional Input Versatility: Monitor voltage of a second battery, temperature, or midpoint voltage (with corresponding alarms and relay settings).

The Victron BMV-712 is a powerful and user-friendly solution for optimizing your off-grid power management. Its built-in Bluetooth connectivity, advanced monitoring capabilities, and low current draw make it an ideal choice for campervans, caravans, motorhomes, and boats.
