Victron BMV-700 500A Battery Monitor with Shunt

Victron BMV-700 500A 12V / 24V / 48V Battery Monitor with Shunt Displays battery voltage, current, power, state of charge, consumed amp-hours and estimated time remaining on a flush-mounted LCD display. Includes a high-precision 500A / 50mV shunt, 10m display cable and fused positive battery connection cable. Programmable alarms and relay output help protect the battery bank and can control non-critical loads or a generator-start circuit. Victron BMV-700 battery monitor The Victron BMV-700 is a precision battery monitor for 12V, 24V and 48V battery systems. It measures charge and discharge current through the supplied shunt, then calculates state of charge, power consumption, consumed amp-hours and estimated time remaining. The flush-mounted LCD provides a clear local view of battery condition, while the stored history helps identify discharge patterns and battery performance. It is suitable for lead-acid and lithium battery banks when configured for the battery manufacturer’s requirements. Key features Clear battery information: Displays voltage, current, power, consumed amp-hours, state of charge and remaining time at the current discharge rate. 500A shunt included: Supplied with a 500A / 50mV quick-connect shunt and connection kit. Programmable protection: Visual and audible alarms, plus a programmable relay for low-battery warnings, load control or generator-start functions. Historical data: Records battery use and health indicators, including deepest discharge, total amp-hours drawn and time since the last full charge. VE.Direct connectivity: Connect to compatible GX devices; add a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle separately for VictronConnect app monitoring. Where to use Use the Victron BMV-700 in campervans, motorhomes, boats, off-grid solar systems, mobile work vehicles and backup-power installations. It is suited to battery systems where a permanent local display is preferred. Install the shunt in the main battery negative cable, close to the battery. All charge sources and DC loads that need to be included in the calculation must connect on the system side of the shunt. UK expert support is available for battery-monitor selection and installation planning.
