Victron Energy BMV-712 BLACK Smart Battery Monitor

High-Precision Battery Monitoring

The Victron Energy BMV-712 BLACK Smart is an advanced battery monitor designed for precise tracking of battery state of charge (SOC) and overall system performance. It provides real-time information on voltage, current, ampere-hours consumed, and remaining battery capacity, enabling optimal energy management in campervans, off-grid systems, marine installations, and backup power setups.

Built-In Bluetooth & VictronConnect

With Bluetooth Smart built in, the BMV-712 allows full wireless monitoring and configuration using the VictronConnect app on a smartphone or tablet. No additional displays or interfaces are required.

Via the app, users can:

• Monitor SOC, voltage, current, and power

• View historical battery usage data

• Configure alarms and relay behaviour

• Optimise battery usage in real time

Advanced Measurement Algorithms

The BMV-712 uses advanced algorithms, including the Peukert algorithm, to calculate battery charge status accurately by considering:

• Load current

• Ampere-hour consumption

• Battery temperature

• Battery ageing

This ensures high accuracy even in demanding energy systems.

Integrated Alarms & Programmable Relay

To protect battery health and system safety, the BMV-712 includes:

• Programmable visual and audible alarms

• Alerts for low voltage, high voltage, or critical SOC

• Programmable bistable relay, ideal for:

  • Automatic load shedding

  • Generator start/stop

  • Emergency system control

These features help prevent deep discharge and extend battery lifespan.

System Integration via VE.Direct

The VE.Direct port allows seamless integration with Victron GX devices such as:

• Cerbo GX

• Ekrano GX

• GX Touch displays

This enables centralised system monitoring locally and remotely via the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal.

Flexible Monitoring Options

The BMV-712 supports:

• Secondary battery voltage measurement

• Battery midpoint monitoring

• Optional temperature sensor input

This makes it suitable for lithium and lead-acid battery systems, both single and multi-battery configurations.

Clean BLACK Design

• Modern BLACK bezel, ideal for premium campervan interiors

• Flush-mounted installation

• Clear, easy-to-read display

Designed to integrate visually with modern electrical panels.
