Everything you need to know about the product
With Bluetooth built-in, the Victron BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor is ready for the Internet of Things (IoT) era. As Bluetooth is being implemented across most Victron Energy products, wireless communication between devices simplifies system installation and enhances overall performance.
Use a smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device with the Victron app to customise settings, monitor all important data on a single screen, view historical data, and update the firmware when new features become available.
All electrical connections are made to the quick-connect PCB on the current shunt. The shunt connects to the monitor with a standard RJ12 telephone cable. Included in the box: an RJ12 cable (10m) and a battery cable with fuse (2m) — no other components needed. Also included are a separate front bezel for a square or round display appearance, a securing ring for rear mounting, and screws for front mounting.
One bad cell or one bad battery can destroy a large, expensive battery bank. When batteries are connected in series, a timely warning can be generated by measuring the midpoint voltage. We recommend the Victron Battery Balancer (BMS012201000) to maximise service life of series-connected lead-acid batteries. Please refer to section 5.2 of the BMV manual for full details.
Current consumption is just 0.7Ah per month (1mA) at 12V and 0.6Ah per month (0.8mA) at 24V. This is especially important for Li-ion batteries, which have virtually no capacity remaining after a low-voltage shutdown. After shutdown, the capacity reserve of a Li-ion battery is approximately 1Ah per 100Ah of battery capacity — a residual current of 10mA can damage a 200Ah battery if left in a discharged state for more than 8 days.
A bi-stable alarm relay prevents increased current draw during an alarm condition, preserving available battery capacity while the alert is active.

Wireless Bluetooth connectivity allows you to monitor, customise, and update the BMV-712 directly from a smartphone or Bluetooth-enabled device via the Victron app.
An additional input allows the BMV-712 to monitor the voltage of a second battery, or to measure temperature or midpoint voltage, with dedicated alarm and relay settings.
Detects imbalances in series-connected battery banks and generates an early warning before a single bad cell can damage an entire bank.
Draws just 0.7Ah per month at 12V — critically low for systems with Li-ion batteries where residual current draw during storage can cause permanent damage.
The bi-stable relay prevents additional current draw during an alarm condition, preserving battery capacity while alerts are active.
Stores a wide range of historical events, including usage patterns and battery health data, accessible via the Victron app.
All connections are made at the quick-connect shunt PCB using the included RJ12 cable (10m) and battery cable with fuse (2m) — no additional components required.
Supports 6.5–70V input, making it compatible with 12V, 24V, and 48V systems including Li-ion and lead-acid battery types.
A deep dive into our industry-leading technology and high-performance standards.
Yes. The BMV-712 Smart has Bluetooth built-in, so no additional dongle is needed. You can connect via the Victron app on iOS or Android to view data, customise settings, and update firmware.
The BMV-712 monitors battery voltage, current, power, ampere-hours consumed, state of charge, and remaining time at the current discharge rate. It can also monitor a second battery voltage, temperature, or midpoint voltage via its additional input.
Yes. All electrical connections go to the quick-connect PCB on the shunt, which connects to the display unit via the included 10m RJ12 cable. A battery cable with fuse (2m) is also included — no other components are needed.
Yes. The BMV-712 includes an additional input that can measure the voltage of a second battery (or temperature, or midpoint voltage), with corresponding alarm and relay settings.
The BMV-712 supports a wide input voltage range of 6.5–70V, covering 12V, 24V, and 48V systems, and is compatible with lead-acid and Li-ion battery types.
