Victron Battery Monitor BMV-700H

Victron BMV-700HS Battery Monitor: reliable monitoring of high-voltage batteries

The BMV-700HS is a highly accurate battery monitor, specifically designed for use with high-voltage batteries
The main function of a battery monitor is to calculate the consumed ampere-hours and the state of charge of a battery. The consumed ampere-hours are calculated by integrating the current flowing into or out of the battery.

The remaining battery capacity depends on the consumed ampere-hours, the discharge current, the temperature and the age of the battery. Complex software algorithms are required to take all these variables into account. In addition to basic display options such as voltage, current and consumed ampere-hours, the BMV-700HS series also displays the state of charge, remaining runtime and power consumption in watts.

With the Bluetooth Smart Dongle, you can monitor your batteries via an Apple or Android smartphone, tablet, MacBook, as well as other devices.

All electrical connections are made using the printed circuit board connector on the current shunt. The shunt is connected to the monitor via a standard RJ12 telephone cable.
Included in the delivery: RJ12 cable (10 m) and battery cable with fuse (2 m). No additional components are required. A separate front panel for a square or round display, a safety ring for rear mounting and screws for front mounting are also included.

A quick installation menu and a detailed setup menu with scrolling assist the user when making the various settings. Alternatively, a quick and easy solution can be used: download the smartphone app (Bluetooth Smart Dongle required)
