It measures state of charge, voltage, current, power consumption and time remaining, giving installers and system operators accurate, real-time data on battery health and usage. Suitable for off-grid solar, marine, motorhome and backup power installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDisplays state of charge (SOC) as a percentage, calculated from actual current flow rather than voltage estimation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeasures battery voltage, current (charge and discharge), power in watts, and time remaining at current load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProgrammable relay output can trigger alarms or control external devices based on SOC, voltage or temperature thresholds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBacklit display with intuitive rotary dial navigation, readable in low-light conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConfigurable for a wide range of battery chemistries including lead-acid (flooded, AGM, gel) and lithium.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes a 500A\/50mV shunt for accurate current measurement without interrupting the main battery circuit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStores historical data including deepest discharge, average discharge, total charge cycles and cumulative energy throughput.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BMV-700 uses a shunt-based measurement method, which means it monitors all current flowing in and out of the battery bank with high accuracy. Unlike voltage-only monitors, this approach accounts for the non-linear relationship between voltage and state of charge, particularly important for lithium batteries and heavily cycled lead-acid banks. The 500A shunt supplied is suitable for most residential and light commercial battery systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe monitor is configured via the front panel rotary dial and stores settings in non-volatile memory. Key parameters such as battery capacity, Peukert exponent, charge efficiency factor and tail current can all be adjusted to match the specific battery bank in use. This level of configurability makes the BMV-700 appropriate for professional installations where accuracy matters, not just as an indicative display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit communicates via a VE.Direct port, which allows connection to Victron's GX devices, Victron Connect app (via a VE.Direct to USB or Bluetooth dongle, sold separately), and compatible MPPT solar charge controllers for system-wide monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BAM010700000R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076020073\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.627 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShunt rating: 500A \/ 50mV\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible battery voltages: 12V, 24V, 48V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommunication: VE.Direct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid solar systems requiring accurate battery state of charge monitoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine and narrowboat installations where battery management is critical to safe operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhome and campervan leisure battery systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power and UPS systems with lead-acid or lithium battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTelecoms and remote site installations needing logged energy data.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBMV-700 display unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e500A \/ 50mV shunt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRJ12 connection cable (display to shunt)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature sensor connection cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shunt must be installed on the negative battery terminal, between the battery bank and all loads and charge sources. Incorrect shunt placement will result in inaccurate SOC readings. While the BMV-700 is a low-voltage device, it is typically installed as part of a larger battery system that may include high-current DC wiring. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator. For marine installations, compliance with relevant BMEA or RYA wiring standards is advisable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59855241609550,"sku":"BAM010700000R","price":76.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BAM010700000R_-_Battery_Monitor_BMV-700_Retail.webp?v=1781091738","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-bmv-700-battery-monitor","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
