Battery Monitor BMV-712
The BMV-712 is Victron's newest high precision battery monitor. The essential function of a battery monitor is to calculate ampere hours consumed and the state of charge of a battery. Compatible with all battery types. Built-in Bluetooth.
Monitor Dimensions: H 1.3" x W 2.4" x D 2.4"
Shunt Dimensions: H 1.4" x W 4.8" x D 1.6"
The BMV communication cable has a specific orientation between the pins from one end to the other. It also has internal twisted pairs to reduce interference noise from the other wires that deliver information. Victron is adamant that you need to use their cable.
Ampere hours consumed are calculated by integrating the current flowing in or out of the battery.
