Victron BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor – Black

The Victron BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor in Black is a professional monitoring solution designed for accurate, real-time insight into battery performance across trade, commercial and specialist off-grid applications. It is widely used in marine systems, plant equipment, service vehicles, leisure conversions and industrial installations where reliable power management is essential.

This model combines high precision with smart connectivity. Built-in Bluetooth allows engineers and installers to view performance data through the VictronConnect app, making commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance far more efficient. The monitor tracks key parameters including voltage, current, power, consumed ampere-hours, state of charge and estimated remaining runtime. It supports input voltages from 6.5 to 70 V DC, making it suitable for 12 V, 24 V and high-voltage multi-battery arrangements.

A high-accuracy 500 A shunt is supplied as standard, providing consistent and dependable measurement even under heavy loads. The model also includes an auxiliary input which can be configured to monitor a second battery, midpoint voltage or temperature, offering added flexibility for more complex setups. An integrated bi-stable relay allows installers to trigger alarms or control external equipment such as generators or load disconnect switches based on user-defined thresholds.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the plug-and-play RJ12 cable and the supplied mounting accessories. The unit can be installed with either a round or square appearance using the included bezel, and comes with a securing ring and screws for flush mounting. The compact IP55-rated display is suitable for protected environments and offers clear, easy-to-read information even in demanding locations.

Power consumption is extremely low at roughly 0.7 Ah per month in 12 V systems, which makes the BMV-712 particularly suited to low-draw setups and lithium battery banks. Accuracy across all readings is high, helping extend battery life, reduce downtime and give users confidence in critical power applications. As part of the Victron range, the unit is backed by a 5-year warranty and full system compatibility with VE.Direct-enabled equipment.
