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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Victron BMV-702 and BMV-712 battery monitors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnables real-time battery temperature readout directly on the BMV display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAllows the BMV-712 to use temperature data for more accurate state-of-charge calculations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug-and-play connection to the BMV auxiliary input port — no additional wiring harness required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.07 kg, suitable for installation in confined battery compartments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenuine Victron Energy accessory, manufactured to match the BMV product range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBattery 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: ASS000100000\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076019183\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible monitors: BMV-702, BMV-712\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.07 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnection: Auxiliary input port on BMV unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhomes, campervans and caravans where battery temperature fluctuates with ambient conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine installations requiring battery temperature visibility alongside state-of-charge monitoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and remote power systems subject to seasonal temperature variation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVehicles with auxiliary battery systems where accurate capacity data is needed year-round.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAny BMV-702 or BMV-712 installation where temperature monitoring was not included at initial setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Victron Temperature Sensor for BMV-702 and BMV-712 (ASS000100000)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47441080451406,"sku":"ASS000100000","price":25.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/temperature-sensor-for-bmv-702712-ass000100000-564600.jpg?v=1747936751","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-temperature-sensor-bmv-702-712","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
