Technical Specifications Parameter Value Nominal Battery Voltage 12V / 24V / 48V Supply Voltage Range 6.5 - 95V Input Current Range (with supplied shunt) -500A to +500A Current Draw (backlight off) <4mA Relay Rating 60V / 1A Operating Temperature Range -20°C to +50°C Voltage Measurement Accuracy ±0.3% Current Measurement Accuracy ±0.4% Shunt Dimensions 120 x 25 x 50 mm Advanced Monitoring & Connectivity The Victron BMV-700 goes beyond basic readings, offering advanced features for comprehensive battery management: Detailed Historical Data: The monitor records an in-depth log of historical data, including highest/lowest voltages, deepest discharge, time since last full charge, and cumulative Amp-hours drawn. This allows for thorough evaluation of usage patterns and long-term battery health assessment. Customisable Alarms & Relay: Users can set high and low thresholds for battery voltage or state of charge. If these parameters fall outside the specified range, the monitor triggers an audible alarm, flashes the backlight, and displays an alarm symbol. The integrated relay can also activate external devices or warnings. VE.Direct Communication: Equipped with a VE.Direct port, the BMV-700 can connect to a Victron VE.Direct Bluetooth Dongle or VE.Direct USB cable (both sold separately). This unlocks the powerful VictronConnect App, enabling remote monitoring, advanced programming, and customisation of settings from your mobile device or computer. Flexible Shunt Compatibility: While supplied with a 500A/50mV shunt, the monitor is compatible with shunts up to 9999A and/or 75mV, offering flexibility for larger or specialised systems. These features make the BMV-700 a versatile and powerful tool for ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of your battery bank. Typical Applications Application Description Off-Grid Solar Systems Monitor battery health and energy usage in remote cabins, tiny homes, and standalone power systems. Marine & RV Setups Essential for boats, caravans, and motorhomes to track battery capacity and prevent unexpected power loss. Backup Power Systems Ensure readiness of emergency power supplies by continuously monitoring battery state of charge. Industrial & Commercial Used in various industrial applications requiring precise battery monitoring for equipment and vehicles. Built-In Protection Functions The Victron BMV-700 is designed with robust safety features to protect your battery system. It includes a programmable relay output for triggering external alarms or controls based on user-defined high/low voltage or state of charge thresholds. The unit adheres to international safety and emission standards, including EN 60335-1, EN 55014-1 / EN 55014-2, and automotive standard ECE R10-4 / EN 50498, ensuring reliable and safe operation within your electrical setup. Common Questions What battery types is the BMV-700 compatible with? The Victron BMV-700 is compatible with any 12V, 24V, or 48V battery or battery bank, including Lead Acid, Gel, AGM, and Lithium chemistries. What is the purpose of the included 500A shunt? The 500A/50mV shunt is a critical component that precisely measures the current flowing into and out of your battery. This data is then transmitted to the BMV-700 monitor for accurate display of charge/discharge current, Amp-hours consumed, and state of charge. Can I monitor the BMV-700 remotely? Yes, by connecting an optional Victron VE.Direct Bluetooth Dongle or VE.Direct USB cable (sold separately), you can access the VictronConnect App on your smartphone, tablet, or computer for remote monitoring and advanced configuration. What items are included with the BMV-700? The product includes the BMV-700 monitor, a 500A/50mV shunt, a 10m connection cable for the monitor to the shunt, a 1m positive supply cable with fuse, a square frame for the LCD monitor, and 4 mounting screws. Installation Notes The battery shunt should be connected on the negative battery wire, as close to the battery bank as possible for accurate readings. The LCD display is designed for flush-mounting, requiring a recess to be cut into the mounting surface or wall. A square frame is supplied for aesthetic finishing. Ensure all connections are secure and correctly wired according to the detailed user manual provided with the unit. Consider the length of the supplied 10m connection cable when planning the placement of the monitor and shunt. Before You Buy Verify your battery system's nominal voltage (12V, 24V, or 48V) matches the monitor's compatibility. Confirm your maximum expected system current does not exceed the 500A rating of the supplied shunt. Consider if you require remote monitoring via the VictronConnect App; if so, an optional VE.Direct Bluetooth Dongle or USB cable will be needed. Review the available space for flush-mounting the LCD display and the placement of the shunt. Please verify all specifications and compatibility requirements for your specific application before purchase. This product is covered by a 5-year manufacturer warranty.
