Description

The BMV-700 is Victron’s new high precision multi-function battery monitor with a host of useful features. It essentially acts as a battery ‘fuel gauge’ for anyone needing to keep a check on the performance of their battery or battery bank. The information displayed by the BMV-700 includes voltage, current draw, Ah consumed, % charge level, ‘time-to-go’ and it features a programmable alarm and in-built relay to trigger external equipment under an alarm condition.

The shunt is fitted in-line with the battery’s negative cable and the on-board PCB is powered by a fused positive supply. Once the battery monitor is panel-mounted in a suitable location (with or without the supplied square bezel) it is connected to the shunt’s PCB using a single RJ12 data/power cable and programmed using the on-board menu.
