Description
Victron Battery Monitor BMV-700, 5 year warranty The BMV-700 is Victron's newest high precision battery monitor The essential function of a battery monitor is to calculate ampere hours consumed and the state of charge of a battery Ampere hours consumed are calculated by integrating the current flowing in or out of the battery Battery fuel gauge, time-to-go indicator, and much more: The remaining battery capacity depends on the ampere-hours consumed, discharge current, temperature and the age of the battery Complex software algorithms are needed to take all these variables into account Next to the basic display options, such as voltage, current and ampere-hours consumed, the BMV-700 series also displays state of charge, time to go, and power consumption in Watts Bluetooth Smart: Use the Bluetooth Smart dongle to monitor your batteries on Apple or Android smartphones, tablets, macbooks and other devices 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 are a separate front bezel for a square or round display appearance, a securing ring for the rear mounting and screws for the front mounting Easy to program (with your smartphone!): A quick install menu and a detailed setup menu with scrolling texts assist the user when going through the various settings Alternatively, choose the fast and easy solution: download the smartphone app (Bluetooth Smart dongle needed) Standard features: Battery voltage, current, power, ampere-hours consumed and state of charge Remaining time at the current rate of discharge Programmable visual and audible alarm Programmable relay, to turn off non critical loads or to run a generator when needed 500 Amp quick connect shunt and connection kit Shunt selection capability up to 10000 Amps VEDirect communication port Stores a wide range of historical events, which can be used to evaluate usage patterns and battery health Wide input voltage range: 6,5 95V High current measurement resolution: 10 mA (0,01A) Low current consumption: 2,9Ah per month (4mA) @12V and 2,2Ah per month (3mA) @ 24V BMV-702 additional features: Additional input to measure voltage (of a second battery), temperature or midpoint voltage, and corresponding alarm and relay settings BMV-700HS: 60 to 385 VDC voltage range: No additional parts needed Note: suitable for systems with grounded minus only (battery monitor is not isolated from shunt) Other battery monitoring options: VENet Battery Controller Lynx Shunt VENet Lynx Shunt VECan More about midpoint voltage: 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 52, for more information Victron recommend their Battery Balancer (BMS012201000) to maximize service life of series-connected batteries
