A proper fuel gauge for your campervan battery. The Victron BMV-700 is a high-precision battery monitor that tracks voltage, current, power, amp-hours consumed and state of charge — so you always know exactly how much battery you have left and how long it will last.

Benefits:

• Accurate state-of-charge percentage — far more useful than voltage alone

• Remaining time display — shows how long until flat at current draw rate

• 500A shunt included and ready to install

• Programmable alarm and relay — alert when battery gets low or trigger a generator

• VE.Direct port for integration with Cerbo GX or Bluetooth dongle

• Wide voltage range — 6.5–95V covers 12V, 24V, 36V and 48V systems

• Stores historical data for analysis of battery usage patterns and health

Features:

Battery voltage alone is a poor indicator of state-of-charge — it varies with load and temperature and doesn’t tell you how much energy remains. The BMV-700 solves this by integrating current in and out of the battery continuously, giving you an accurate amp-hour count and state-of-charge percentage at all times. The round 63mm display flush-mounts in your dashboard or panel and shows live voltage, current, power and state-of-charge at a glance. The programmable relay can be wired to sound an alarm, shut off non-critical loads, or start a generator when the battery reaches a set threshold. The 10m cable run between shunt and display gives good flexibility in van layouts. Connects to Cerbo GX via VE.Direct for full system integration and remote monitoring via Victron’s free VRM portal.

People are asking

What does a battery monitor actually tell me?

Voltage alone is a poor indicator of battery state. The BMV-700 measures current in and out, calculates amp-hours consumed, and gives you an accurate state-of-charge percentage — like a fuel gauge for your battery. It also shows remaining run-time at your current consumption rate.

Is a 500A shunt enough for my system?

For most campervan setups yes — 500A covers high-draw scenarios including inverters and large fridges. If you need more, the BMV-700 supports shunts up to 10,000A via software configuration.

Does it connect to the VictronConnect app?

Via VE.Direct. Add the optional VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart Dongle for phone monitoring, or connect to a Cerbo GX for full system integration and remote access via the free VRM portal.

Where does the shunt get installed?

The 500A shunt connects in the negative cable between the battery and the rest of the system. All current flowing in or out of the battery passes through it, allowing the BMV-700 to calculate amp-hours consumed accurately.

What’s the input voltage range?

6.5–95V DC — compatible with 12V, 24V, 36V and 48V battery systems without any modification.
