The BMV-700 is a battery monitor that works like a fuel gauge for your battery bank, tracking voltage, current, ampere-hours consumed, state of charge, time-to-go, and power consumption in watts. Complex algorithms account for discharge current, temperature, and battery age to keep those readings accurate.

The BMV-702 adds a second input that can be programmed to monitor a second battery's voltage, battery temperature, or midpoint voltage — useful for spotting a failing cell in a large series-connected battery bank before it causes serious damage.

Installation

All electrical connections run to the quick-connect PCB on the current shunt, which links to the monitor with a standard RJ12 cable. A 10m RJ12 cable and a 2m battery cable with fuse are included, along with a front bezel for square or round mounting styles, a securing ring, and mounting screws — no additional parts are needed. A quick-install menu and a detailed setup menu guide you through configuration.

Standard Features

  • Battery voltage, current, power, ampere-hours consumed, and state of charge
  • Remaining time at the current discharge rate
  • Programmable visual and audible alarm
  • Programmable relay to shut off non-critical loads or start a generator
  • 500 amp quick-connect shunt and connection kit, with shunt options up to 10,000 amps
  • VE.Direct communication port
  • Stores historical data for evaluating usage patterns and battery health
  • Wide input voltage range: 9.5-95V
  • High current measurement resolution: 10 mA (0.01A)
  • Low current consumption: 2.9Ah per month (4mA) at 12V, 2.2Ah per month (3mA) at 24V

The BMV-700HS variant supports a 60-385 VDC range. Note: the BMV series is suitable for systems with a grounded minus only, as the battery monitor is not isolated from the shunt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What does the BMV-700 measure?

It displays battery voltage, current, ampere-hours consumed, state of charge, time-to-go, and power consumption in watts.

Q. What's included in the box?

A 500 amp shunt and connection kit, a 10m RJ12 cable, a 2m battery cable with fuse, a front bezel for square or round mounting, a securing ring, and mounting screws.

Q. What's the difference between the BMV-700 and BMV-702?

The BMV-702 adds a second input that can be programmed to monitor a second battery's voltage, temperature, or midpoint voltage.

Q. Can the shunt handle more than 500 amps?

Yes. While the included shunt is rated at 500 amps, shunt options are available up to 10,000 amps.

Q. Does the BMV-700 work with a floating ground system?

No. It's suitable for systems with a grounded minus only, since the battery monitor is not isolated from the shunt.
