Victron Battery Monitor BMV-712

VICTRON Battery Monitor BMV-712 is Easy to install

• All electrical connections are to the quick connect PCB on the current shunt. The shunt connects to the monitor with a standard RJ12 telephone cable. Included: RJ 12 cable (10 m) and battery cable with fuse (2 m); no other components needed.
• Also included is a separate front bezel for a square or round display appearance, a securing ring for rear mounting, and screws for front mounting.

Midpoint voltage monitoring

• One bad cell or one bad battery can destroy a large, expensive battery bank. When batteries are connected in series, a timely warning can be generated by measuring the midpoint voltage. Please see the BMV manual, section 5.2, for more information.
• We recommend the Battery Balancer (BMS012201000) to maximize the service life of series-connected lead-acid batteries.

Very low current draw from the battery

• Current consumption: 0,7Ah per month (1mA) @12V and 0,6Ah per month (0,8mA) @ 24V
• Especially Li-ion batteries have virtually no capacity left when discharged until low voltage shutdown.
• After shut down due to low cell voltage, the capacity reserve of a Li-ion battery is approximately 1Ah per 100Ah battery capacity. The battery will be damaged if the remaining capacity reserve is drawn from the battery. A residual current of 10mA for example may damage a 200Ah battery if the system is left in a discharged state for more than 8 days.
