Description
xTemperature Sensor for BMV-702 and BMV-712 Battery Monitors — ASS000100000
The Victron Temperature Sensor (ASS000100000) adds battery temperature monitoring to the BMV-702 and BMV-712 battery monitors. It connects directly to the BMV unit and allows the monitor to display real-time battery temperature alongside voltage and state of charge data. This is particularly useful in installations where battery temperature varies significantly, such as vehicles, boats, and off-grid systems exposed to seasonal extremes.
Key Features
- Compatible with Victron BMV-702 and BMV-712 battery monitors.
- Enables real-time battery temperature readout directly on the BMV display.
- Allows the BMV-712 to use temperature data for more accurate state-of-charge calculations.
- Plug-and-play connection to the BMV auxiliary input port — no additional wiring harness required.
- Compact and lightweight at 0.07 kg, suitable for installation in confined battery compartments.
- Genuine Victron Energy accessory, manufactured to match the BMV product range.
Product Overview
Battery temperature has a direct effect on capacity and charge acceptance. Lead-acid batteries in particular lose significant capacity in cold conditions and can be damaged by overcharging at high temperatures. By adding this sensor to a BMV-702 or BMV-712, the monitor gains a temperature input that makes its readings more contextually accurate and gives the installer or system owner an additional data point for diagnosing battery health and performance.
On the BMV-712, temperature data is also transmitted via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect app, making it accessible remotely without needing to be physically present at the battery. This is a practical advantage in installations where the battery bank is in an awkward location, such as under a vehicle floor or in a boat's bilge compartment.
The sensor connects to the auxiliary input on the back of the BMV unit. No configuration tools are required beyond the standard BMV setup menu, where temperature monitoring can be enabled once the sensor is detected.

- 1 x Victron Temperature Sensor for BMV-702 and BMV-712 (ASS000100000)
Installation Notes
The sensor connects to the auxiliary input port on the rear of the BMV-702 or BMV-712. Ensure the BMV firmware is up to date before connecting the sensor, as older firmware versions may not support temperature display. Temperature monitoring must be enabled in the BMV settings menu after the sensor is connected. Installation is straightforward and does not require a qualified electrician, but all work near battery banks should follow safe working practices, including isolating the battery where possible before making connections.
