Victron Battery Monitor bmv-712 black Smart

The bmv 712 Smart from victron Energy (mpn bam030712200) is the latest battery computer in the bmv family. It provides precise data on parameters such as battery voltage, current, power, ampere hours consumed, state of charge and remaining time at the current discharge rate. The measurement resolution is very accurate and precise compared to similar products. In addition, it is equipped with an integrated Bluetooth module that allows you to access many functions and status reports of the battery computer via the free victronConnect app.

Main features of the victron bmv 712 Smart battery monitor

Built-in Bluetooth Module: With its built-in Bluetooth:module, the bmv Smart is already for the "Internet of Things". Meanwhile, in addition to the bmv 712, most other victron products also have integrated Bluetooth. networking, evaluation and communication has never been as convenient as it is today.

Free victron Bluetooth app: The victronConnect app allows you to evaluate all victron products with vE.Direct interface. Depending on the device, numerous parameters can be read out directly via cell phone, computer or tablet. You can display all important data on one screen, adjust settings and update to the latest software. options for data logging and data export are also available. So you always know how your system is doing.

Easy installation: All electrical connections are made to the current shunt using the PCB connector. The shunt is connected to the monitor via a standard RJ12 telephone cable. Included in delivery: RJ12 cable (10 m) and battery cable with fuse (2 m). No other components are required. also included is a separate front bezel for a square or round display, a safety ring for rear mounting and screws for front mounting.

Huge range of functions: Numerous battery monitoring functions and generously sized electronic components on the Smart bmv's circuit board allow you to gain deep insights into the life of your battery. In addition, with the help of the bmv, you can detect and fix problems, even in larger battery banks, before damage occurs.

More features of the bmv 712 battery computer

• Programmable visual and audible alarm
• Programmable relay to switch off essential loads or switch on to a generator when needed
• One 500 amp quick connect shunt and connection kit
• Shunt capacity selectable up to 10,000 amps
• vE.Direct communication port

High resolution measurement data from up to 2 batteries

• Current ± 0.01a
• Voltage ± 0.01v
• ampere-hour ± 0.1 ah
• State of charge (0-100%) ± 0.1%
• Remaining time ± 1 min
• Temperature (0-50°C or 30-120°F) ± 1°C/°F
• Accuracy of current measurement ±0.4%

Low self consumption

The current consumption of the bmv is only 0.7 ah per month (1 ma) at 12 v and 0.6 ah per month (0.8 ma) at 24 v. In particular, lithium-ion batteries have almost no capacity left when they are discharged to the point of shutdown due to low voltage. After shutdown due to low voltage, the reserve capacity of a lithium-ion battery is approximately 1 ah per 1000 ah of battery capacity. The battery will be damaged if the remaining reserve capacity is drawn from the battery. For example, a residual current of 10 ma can damage a 200 ah battery if the system is left in a discharged state for over 8 days.

midpoint voltage monitoring

One damaged cell or battery can destroy an entire large, expensive battery bank. When batteries are connected in series, measuring the midpoint voltage can provide a timely warning. Please also refer to the bmv manual, section 5.2 for more information.
victron recommends the Battery Balancer (bms012201000) to maximize the life of lead-acid batteries connected in series.
