It measures state of charge, voltage, current, power and consumed amp-hours, giving installers and system operators accurate, real-time data on battery health and usage. Bluetooth connectivity is built in, making it compatible with the Victron Connect app on iOS and Android without any additional hardware.\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 devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDisplays state of charge (%), voltage, current (amps), power (watts) and consumed amp-hours simultaneously.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with 12V, 24V and 48V battery systems, including lead-acid, AGM, gel and lithium chemistries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProgrammable relay output that can trigger alarms or control external devices based on configurable thresholds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMidpoint voltage monitoring for series-connected battery banks, helping identify cell or battery imbalance early.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHistorical data logging including deepest discharge, average discharge, number of charge cycles and time since last full charge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge backlit display with clear readout, suitable for panel mounting in control rooms, vehicles and marine installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BMV-712 Smart uses a precision shunt (sold separately or included depending on kit) to measure current flowing in and out of the battery bank. From this, it calculates state of charge using a Peukert-corrected algorithm, which accounts for the non-linear discharge behaviour of lead-acid batteries. For lithium batteries, the algorithm can be adjusted to match the flatter discharge curve. This level of accuracy is important in off-grid and marine systems where knowing the true remaining capacity determines whether loads can be run safely overnight or during low-generation periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in Bluetooth module connects directly to VictronConnect without a separate dongle. From the app, you can configure all parameters including battery capacity, charge efficiency factor, Peukert exponent, alarm thresholds and relay behaviour. The same app displays live data and historical trends. The BMV-712 also supports integration with the Victron GX device ecosystem, allowing data to be fed into a Venus GX, Cerbo GX or similar for centralised system monitoring via the VRM portal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe programmable relay is a practical feature often overlooked. It can be configured to close or open based on state of charge, voltage or temperature (with optional temperature sensor), making it useful for load shedding, generator start signals or alarm outputs. This removes the need for a separate relay module in many installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border: 2px solid #f87c24; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f87c24; color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eBAM030712000\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCompatible battery voltages\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e12V, 24V, 48V\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eBluetooth (VictronConnect app)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eDisplay\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eBacklit LCD\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eRelay output\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eProgrammable (configurable thresholds)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eMidpoint voltage monitoring\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e0.627 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGTIN\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e8719076037781\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid solar systems where accurate state of charge monitoring is critical for load management.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine and narrowboat installations requiring reliable battery monitoring with panel-mount display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhome and campervan leisure battery systems with 12V or 24V banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power and UPS systems where battery health tracking is required for maintenance schedules.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeries battery banks (48V systems) where midpoint voltage monitoring helps detect imbalance between batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron GX-based systems requiring a monitor that integrates with VRM portal and Cerbo GX.\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 monitor head unit with backlit display\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e500A\/50mV shunt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRJ12 connection cable (monitor to shunt)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBattery cable with fuse\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 Smart should be installed by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator familiar with DC battery systems. The shunt must be installed on the negative battery terminal with all negative loads and charge sources connected to the load side of the shunt, not directly to the battery. Incorrect shunt wiring is the most common cause of inaccurate readings. For lithium battery installations, ensure the Peukert exponent and charge efficiency settings are adjusted from their lead-acid defaults. Temperature compensation requires the optional temperature sensor accessory. For systems integrated with a Cerbo GX or Venus GX, connect via the VE.Direct port using the appropriate cable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47632597319971,"sku":"BAM030712000","price":690.0,"currency_code":"RON","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/9001\/4243\/files\/victron-battery-monitor-bmv-712-smart-bam030712000-939935.jpg?v=1789115531","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.eu\/products\/battery-monitor-bmv-712-smart","provider":"VoltaconSolar EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
