From this, it calculates state of charge using a Peukert-corrected algorithm that accounts for charge efficiency and self-discharge. This gives a far more accurate picture of remaining capacity than a simple voltage reading, which is particularly important for lithium batteries where the voltage curve is relatively flat across most of the charge range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated Bluetooth module connects directly to the VictronConnect app, where you can view live data, configure all parameters and review historical trends including deepest discharge, average discharge and number of charge cycles. The BMV-712 also integrates with the wider Victron ecosystem: it can be connected to a GX device (such as the Cerbo GX) for system-level monitoring and remote access via VRM. The programmable relay adds a layer of protection automation, allowing the unit to disconnect loads or trigger an alarm based on configurable thresholds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe black version is functionally identical to the standard silver BMV-712 Smart. It is the retail-packaged variant, supplied with all accessories needed for a complete installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BAM030712200R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076049524\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.627 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eColour: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnectivity: Bluetooth (VictronConnect)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDisplay: Backlit LCD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible chemistries: Lead-acid (AGM, gel, flooded), LiFePO4 and other lithium types\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 dual-battery monitoring (house bank and starter battery) is needed.\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\u003eCommercial and industrial off-grid installations integrated with Victron GX monitoring equipment.\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-712 BLACK Smart display unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e500A\/50mV precision shunt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-metre RJ12 cable (shunt to display)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFused battery 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 BMV-712 shunt must be installed on the negative side of the battery bank, with all negative loads and charge sources connected to the load side of the shunt. Incorrect wiring will produce inaccurate readings. While the unit itself is low-voltage and does not require specialist certification to install, it is typically fitted as part of a wider battery or solar system. For any grid-connected or high-voltage battery installations, use a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer. Ensure the battery chemistry and capacity settings are correctly configured in VictronConnect before commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59855420522830,"sku":"BAM030712200R","price":110.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BAM030712200R_-_Battery_Monitor_BMV-712_BLACK_Smart_Retail.webp?v=1781094634","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-bmv-712-black-smart-battery-monitor-retail","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
