Key Features:

• Real-Time Battery Monitoring
  Tracks voltage, current, power, ampere-hours consumed, and state of charge.
• Time-to-Go Indicator
  Displays estimated time remaining based on current discharge rate.
• Advanced Monitoring Algorithms
  Calculates remaining battery capacity while accounting for discharge current, temperature, and battery aging.
• Bluetooth Compatibility (Optional)
  Add a Bluetooth Smart Dongle to monitor via smartphone, tablet, or laptop through the VictronConnect app.
• Easy Installation
  Includes all required cables and hardware—just plug the 500A shunt into the monitor using the included RJ12 and fused battery cables.
• Programmable Alarms and Relay
  Configure visual/audible alerts and control non-critical loads or generators.
• VE.Direct Communication Port
  Enables integration with GX devices for advanced system monitoring.
• Energy-Efficient Design
  Extremely low current draw: only 2.9Ah/month at 12V.

Variants and Expanded Features:

• BMV-702
  Adds a second input for monitoring battery temperature, midpoint voltage, or a second battery’s voltage—includes programmable alarms and relay settings.
• BMV-700H
  Supports high-voltage systems from 60V to 385VDC (for grounded-negative systems only).

Midpoint Voltage Monitoring (BMV-702)

Detect potential battery failures early by monitoring the midpoint voltage in series-connected battery banks. Deviation from ideal midpoint levels indicates imbalance or degradation—crucial for protecting large or expensive systems.

For optimal battery balancing, we recommend pairing with the [Victron Battery Balancer (BMS012201000)].
