Features:

The BMV-712 is the Bluetooth-enabled upgrade from the BMV-700 — it adds built-in Bluetooth so you can monitor your battery from the VictronConnect app on your phone without any additional accessories. The compact 63mm round display flush-mounts in a dashboard or panel and shows voltage, current, power, state-of-charge and remaining time. The second input adds temperature or second battery voltage monitoring — ideal for watching your starter battery alongside your leisure battery. The included 500A shunt installs in the negative cable and provides continuous current measurement for accurate state-of-charge tracking. Programmable alarm relay for low-battery alerts. VE.Direct port connects to Cerbo GX for full system integration and remote monitoring via Victron's free VRM portal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the upgrade from the BMV-700 to the BMV-712?

The BMV-712 adds built-in Bluetooth (the BMV-700 requires a separate VE.Direct Bluetooth dongle) and a second input for temperature or second battery voltage monitoring. The core display, shunt, and measurement accuracy are identical. If you plan to use the VictronConnect app regularly, the BMV-712 is the more convenient choice as there's nothing extra to buy or lose.

How do I connect the BMV-712 to VictronConnect?

Simply open the VictronConnect app (free for iOS and Android) and enable Bluetooth on your phone. The BMV-712 appears in the device list — tap it to connect. From there you can view live voltage, current, state-of-charge, and historical data, and adjust all settings including battery capacity, charge efficiency factor, and alarm thresholds without touching the display unit.

Can the BMV-712 monitor my starter battery?

Yes — the second input (midpoint/temperature terminal) can be configured in VictronConnect to monitor a second battery voltage, such as your starter battery. The main display alternates between the two readings, and both are visible in the app. This is one of the key advantages of the BMV-712 over the simpler SmartShunt for dual-battery monitoring with a dedicated display.
