xTemperature Sensor for BMV-702 and BMV-712 Battery Monitors
The Victron Temperature Sensor is an add-on accessory for the BMV-702 and BMV-712 battery monitors. It connects directly to the monitor's accessory port and enables battery temperature measurement, allowing the BMV to display temperature data and apply temperature-compensated state-of-charge calculations.
Key Features
- Compatible with the Victron BMV-702 and BMV-712 battery monitors via the dedicated accessory port.
- Enables real-time battery temperature display on the BMV monitor.
- Allows the BMV-712 to transmit temperature data over Bluetooth to the VictronConnect app.
- Supports temperature-compensated battery monitoring for more accurate state-of-charge readings.
- Compact and lightweight at 70 g, with a simple plug-in installation requiring no additional tools.

Product Overview
The BMV-702 and BMV-712 battery monitors include an accessory port designed to accept optional sensors. This temperature sensor plugs directly into that port, adding battery temperature measurement to the monitor's existing voltage, current and state-of-charge functions. No wiring modifications are required beyond connecting the sensor to the battery terminal and the monitor port.
Temperature data is particularly useful in lead-acid battery systems, where charge acceptance and capacity vary significantly with temperature. When this sensor is fitted to a BMV-712, the temperature reading is also broadcast via Bluetooth, making it visible in the VictronConnect app alongside all other monitored parameters. This is useful for remote monitoring in installations where physical access to the battery bank is limited.

Installation Notes
This sensor is designed for straightforward plug-in installation on compatible BMV-702 and BMV-712 monitors. Ensure the monitor's accessory port is not already occupied by a midpoint voltage sensor or other accessory before purchasing. While installation is simple, all work on battery systems should be carried out with appropriate care. For larger off-grid or marine battery installations, a qualified electrician or accredited installer is recommended.
