VICTRON - BMV-712 Smart, With Bluetooth, 500A Smart Shunt, Battery Monitor 9-90V
"VICTRON - Battery Monitor BMV-712 Smart" lithium version
With its built-in Bluetooth, the BMV Smart is ready for the age of the "Internet of Things" (IoT). Most other Victron Energy products also have Bluetooth. The wireless communication between the products thus simplifies the installation of systems and improves performance.
VICTRON APP
Download the Victron Bluetooth App using a smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device. Via the APP you can access your BMV-712 and via the mobile device:
- adjust settings,
- view all important data on one screen,
- view historical data and
- update to the latest software when new features are available.
Easy Installation
All electrical connections are made with the PCB connector on the current shunt.
The shunt is connected to the monitor using a standard RJ12 telephone cable.
Supplied with: RJ 12 cable (10 m) and battery cable with fuse (2 m); No additional components are required.
In addition, a separate front bezel for a square or circular display; includes a security ring for rear mounting and screws for front mounting.
Midpoint Voltage Monitoring
One damaged cell or battery can destroy an entire large, expensive battery bank.
If batteries are connected in series, a timely warning can be generated by measuring the midpoint voltage.
Please also refer to the BMV manual, section 5.2 for more information.
We recommend our Battery Balancer (BMS012201000) to maximize the life of series connected lead-acid batteries.
Very low current draw from the battery
Current consumption: 0.7 Ah per month (1 mA) at 12 V and 0.6 Ah per month (0.8 mA) at 24 V
Lithium-ion batteries in particular have almost no capacity left when they are discharged until they shut off due to low voltage.
After a low voltage shutdown, the capacity reserve of a lithium-ion battery is approximately 1 Ah per 1000 Ah battery capacity.
The battery will be damaged if the remaining reserve capacity is drained from the battery.
For example, a residual current of 10mA can damage a 200Ah battery if the system is left discharged for more than 8 days.
Bistable alarm relay
Prevents increased current drain in the event of an alarm.
