Easy to install 

All electrical connections are to the quick connect PCB on the current shunt. The shunt connects to the monitor with a standard RJ12 telephone cable. Included: RJ 12  cable (10m) and battery cable with fuse (2 m) no other components needed. 

 

Also included is a separate front bezel for a square or round display appearance, a securing ring for rear mounting and screws for front mounting. 

 

Midpoint voltage monitoring 

One bad cell or one bad battery can destroy a large, expensive battery bank. When batteries are connected series, a timely warning can be generated by measuring the midpoint voltage. Please see the BMV manual, section 5.2, for further information. 

 

Very low current draw from the battery

Current consumption: 0.7Ah per month (1mA) @12V and 0.6Ah per month (0.8mA) @24V. Especially Li-ion batteries have virtually no capacity left when discharged until low voltage shutdown. After shutdown due to low cell voltage, the capacity reserve of a Li-ion battery is approximately 1Ah per 100Ah battery capacity. The battery will be damaged if the remaining capacity reserve is drawn from the battery. A residual current of 10mA for example may damage a 200Ah battery if the system is left in the discharge state during more than 8 days. 

 

Bi-stable alarm relay 

Prevents increased current draw in case of alarm. 

 

Other features 

- Battery voltage, current, power, ampere-hours consumed and state of charge 

- Remaining time at the current rate of discharge 

- Programmable visual and audible alarm

Customer photo review of Victron | Battery Monitor | BMV-712 Smart Black (BAM030712200)

Have just installed this instead of my last shunt and very happy with how easy it was to install and also how convenient the Bluetooth phone interface works. Trying to push our off grid capabilities so having more information available is amazing.

currently using the smart shunt on an off grid setup - handy having the ability to monitor and review trends to see SOC / Volts / Charging Current and other critical parameters when your systems is not remotely monitored. Definitely removes the anxiety of not being able to check data trends.

Great quality monitor and very easy set up. Much better quality than the "other brand" I had in there before. App is pretty good as well and allows me to monitor solar input and state of charge without having to physically get to the battery box when my tray is loaded up.
