Victron BMV-712 Battery Monitor Kit

A battery monitor with Bluetooth built-in. As Bluetooth is implemented in most other Victron Energy products, wireless communication between products simplifies system installation and enhances performance.

The battery monitor contains midpoint voltage monitoring. One bad cell or bad battery can destroy a large, expensive battery bank - when batteries are connected in series, a timely warning can be generated by measuring the midpoint voltage. In addition, the monitor offers very low current draw from the battery.

All electrical connections are to the quick connect PCV on the current shunt. The shunt connects to the monitor with a standard RJ12 telephone cable. A 10 metre RJ12 cable and 2 metre battery cable with fuse are included, no other components are required. Also included are a separate front bezel for a square or round display appearance, a securing ring for the rear mounting and screws for the front mounting.

Victron Bluetooth App:
Use the smartphone or Bluetooth enabled device to:
- Customise settings.
- Monitor all important data on single screen.
- Update the software when new features become available.
- View historical data.
