Accessories Victron Battery Monitor BMV-700 Precision Meter

Details

The Victron Energy BMV-700 Retail Battery Monitor, identified by EAN 8719076020417, is a high-precision smart fuel gauge designed for comprehensive battery management in marine, automotive, and off-grid solar systems. This advanced monitoring system calculates the state of charge by integrating the current flowing in and out of the battery bank, providing essential real-time data on battery voltage, current draw, power consumption in watts, and ampere-hours consumed. One of its most critical features is the time-to-go indicator, which uses complex software algorithms to calculate the remaining runtime based on the current discharge rate, temperature, and battery age to prevent unexpected power failure. The unit is designed for a wide input voltage range of 6.5 to 95 VDC and features an ultra-low current draw of only 4mA to preserve your stored energy. Installation is straightforward as the 52mm diameter head unit fits standard panel cutouts and connects to the included 500A/50mV quick-connect shunt via a single 10-meter RJ12 data cable. For added system protection and automation, the BMV-700 includes a programmable relay that can trigger a generator or disconnect non-essential loads when specific battery parameters are met. Users can also access historical data such as deepest discharge and number of cycles to evaluate overall battery health and usage patterns. While this retail package includes everything needed for a standard setup, the system is expandable with a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle for wireless monitoring and configuration via the VictronConnect app on smartphones or tablets. This robust and reliable monitor is an indispensable tool for ensuring the longevity of expensive battery banks by maintaining precise control over energy storage and consumption.
