Midpoint Voltage Monitoring
For battery banks connected in series, midpoint voltage monitoring helps detect battery imbalance before it becomes a costly problem. Early warnings can identify weak or failing batteries, helping extend battery bank life.
For maximum performance in series-connected lead-acid battery banks, Victron recommends pairing the BMV-712 with a Victron Battery Balancer.
Ultra-Low Power Consumption
The BMV-712 draws exceptionally little power, making it an excellent choice for lithium battery systems where preserving every amp-hour matters.
Current consumption:
- Approximately 1mA at 12V
- Approximately 0.8mA at 24V
Its extremely low standby power helps prevent unnecessary battery drain during storage.
Smart Protection Features
The built-in bi-stable alarm relay allows the monitor to control external devices without continuously consuming power.
Configure the relay to:
- Disconnect non-essential loads
- Start a generator automatically
- Trigger alarms when battery limits are reached
