It measures state of charge, voltage, current, power and consumed amp-hours, and transmits all data wirelessly via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect app. It is suited to professional installers, off-grid system builders and anyone who needs accurate, real-time battery data without relying on a fixed display location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth for direct connection to the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android, with no additional dongle required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeasures state of charge (SOC), voltage, current (up to 500A via included shunt), power in watts, and consumed amp-hours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual battery voltage monitoring: the second input can monitor an auxiliary battery, starter battery or midpoint voltage on a battery bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProgrammable relay output for high\/low voltage alarms, SOC thresholds or temperature-triggered switching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBacklit display with rotary control for direct readout without a phone or app.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with VRM (Victron Remote Management) portal when connected to a GX device, enabling remote monitoring over the internet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSynchronises with other Victron devices over VE.Smart Networking, sharing battery data across the system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BMV-712 uses a 500A\/50mV shunt to measure current flowing in and out of the battery. From this, it calculates state of charge using a coulomb-counting method, which is more accurate than voltage-based estimation, particularly under load or during partial charge cycles. The monitor tracks historical data including the number of charge cycles, deepest discharge, average discharge and time since last full charge, all accessible via the display or VictronConnect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated Bluetooth module (Bluetooth Smart) allows configuration and monitoring directly from a smartphone. Parameters such as battery capacity, Peukert exponent, charge efficiency factor and tail current can all be set through VictronConnect without opening a panel or using a laptop. This makes commissioning and ongoing adjustment straightforward on installed systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe programmable relay is a practical feature for real installations. It can be configured to trigger an alarm, start a generator, or disconnect a load based on SOC, voltage or temperature thresholds. The auxiliary input adds flexibility for dual-battery setups common in marine, vehicle and off-grid applications, where monitoring a starter battery alongside a house bank is a standard requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BAM030712000R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076037798\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.627 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShunt rating: 500A \/ 50mV (included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible battery voltages: 12V, 24V, 48V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWireless connectivity: Bluetooth Smart (BLE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApp compatibility: VictronConnect (iOS and Android)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDisplay: Backlit LCD with rotary encoder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAuxiliary input: Second voltage measurement (starter battery, midpoint or temperature with optional sensor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelay output: Programmable, single-pole\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 installations with dual-battery setups (house bank and starter battery).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhome and campervan leisure battery monitoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power and UPS systems where battery health tracking is critical.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommercial off-grid installations integrated with Victron GX devices and VRM remote monitoring.\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 Smart display unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e500A \/ 50mV shunt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10 metre connection cable (between shunt and display)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature sensor connection capability (sensor sold separately)\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 conductor between the battery negative terminal and all other negative connections in the system. Incorrect shunt placement will result in inaccurate readings. While the unit itself is low-voltage and does not require a certified electrician for basic installation, it should be fitted as part of a professionally designed system. For off-grid solar or marine installations, a qualified installer familiar with Victron system architecture is recommended.
