It gives installers and off-grid users accurate, real-time data on state of charge, voltage, current and consumed amp-hours. Where a simple voltage reading is not enough, the BMV-700 provides the full picture of what a battery bank is actually doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDisplays state of charge (%), voltage, current (amps), power (watts), consumed amp-hours and time remaining on a single backlit LCD screen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with 12V, 24V and 48V battery systems, including lead-acid (flooded, AGM, gel) and lithium chemistries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-accuracy coulomb counting via a 500A\/50mV shunt, supplied in the box, for precise amp-hour tracking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProgrammable relay output that can trigger alarms or control external devices based on user-defined thresholds (e.g. low state of charge).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStores historical data including deepest discharge, average discharge, number of charge cycles and total amp-hours drawn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact display head with a 52mm panel cut-out, suitable for mounting in switchboards, caravans, boats and off-grid enclosures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnects to the VictronConnect app via an optional VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle for wireless monitoring on iOS and Android.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BMV-700 works by measuring the current flowing in and out of a battery bank through a precision shunt resistor. By integrating this current over time, it calculates consumed amp-hours and derives a state of charge figure that is far more reliable than voltage-based estimation alone. This matters in practice because battery voltage is heavily influenced by load, temperature and recent charge history, making it a poor standalone indicator of how much energy is actually available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe included 500A\/50mV shunt is installed in the negative cable of the battery bank. The display unit connects to the shunt via a supplied RJ12 cable and draws its power directly from the battery, so no separate supply is needed. The relay output adds practical flexibility: it can be configured to switch at a set state of charge, voltage level or temperature (with an optional temperature sensor), making it useful for load shedding, generator start signals or audible alarms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHistorical data logging is stored on-board and covers up to 30 days of discharge records alongside lifetime counters. This is useful for commissioning checks, fault diagnosis and advising end users on battery health. The BMV-700 does not include Bluetooth as standard, but the VE.Direct port allows connection to a GX device (such as a Cerbo GX) for integration into a full Victron system with remote monitoring via VRM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border: 2px solid #f87c24;

All negative loads and charge sources must connect to the load side of the shunt, not directly to the battery, or readings will be inaccurate. The display unit is powered directly from the battery via the shunt connection. Installation in battery systems above 48V or in complex multi-bank configurations should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer. For lithium battery systems, verify compatibility with the battery BMS before installation. The VE.Direct port allows integration with Victron GX devices; no additional configuration software is required for standalone use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59855241478478,"sku":"BAM010700000","price":76.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BAM010700000_-_Battery_Monitor_BMV-700.webp?v=1781091729","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-battery-monitor-bmv-700","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
