Description
xVictron Energy Battery Monitor BMV-702
The Victron BMV-702 is a precision battery monitor designed for 12V, 24V and 48V battery systems. It gives installers and system operators accurate, real-time data on state of charge, voltage, current and consumed amp hours. It is suited to off-grid solar systems, marine installations, motorhomes and any application where reliable battery monitoring is essential.
Key Features
- Displays state of charge (SOC) as a percentage, updated continuously based on measured current flow.
- Monitors battery voltage, current draw and consumed amp hours simultaneously.
- Compatible with 12V, 24V and 48V battery banks, covering the majority of off-grid and mobile system configurations.
- Programmable relay output for high or low voltage alarms, SOC thresholds or other user-defined triggers.
- Backlit display with clear, easy-to-read readouts suitable for low-light environments such as boat cabins or van interiors.
- Includes a 500A shunt for accurate current measurement without the need for additional hardware.
- Connects to the VictronConnect app via optional Bluetooth dongle for remote monitoring and configuration.
Product Overview
The BMV-702 works by measuring the current flowing in and out of the battery bank through a precision shunt resistor. By integrating this current over time, it calculates consumed amp hours and derives state of charge. This method is significantly more accurate than voltage-based SOC estimation, which is unreliable under load or during charging.
The programmable relay is a practical feature for system protection. It can be configured to trigger an alarm or disconnect a load when the battery reaches a defined SOC or voltage threshold, helping to prevent deep discharge damage. The BMV-702 also records historical data including the number of charge cycles, deepest discharge and average discharge, which is useful for system diagnostics and battery health assessment.
The unit supports a second voltage input, allowing simultaneous monitoring of a starter battery or auxiliary battery alongside the main bank. This makes it particularly useful in marine and vehicle installations where two separate batteries need to be tracked.

Installation Notes
The BMV-702 shunt must be installed on the negative conductor of the battery bank, with all negative loads and charge sources connected to the load side of the shunt. Incorrect wiring will result in inaccurate readings. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced system installer. For off-grid solar systems, ensure the shunt is correctly positioned before commissioning the charge controller or inverter. The unit is not intended for grid-connected metering applications.
