Victron Energy BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor 500A Bluetooth 12V 24V 48V

The Victron Energy BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor (Part: BAM030712000R) tracks state of charge, time-to-go, current, voltage, and history for 12V, 24V, and 48V house banks. It includes a dedicated display panel and Bluetooth via VictronConnect — the standard battery monitor for lithium and AGM cruising and liveaboard vessels.

• Bluetooth: Yes — VictronConnect app (iOS & Android)
• Display: Yes — backlit round panel display with buttons
• Measurements: SOC %, voltage, current, power, time-to-go, Ah consumed, historical data
• Relay Output: 1 programmable relay
• Shunt Included: Yes — 500A/50mV
• Warranty: 5 years

Accurate State of Charge for Lithium and AGM Banks

The BMV-712 uses shunt-based coulomb counting — tracking every amp into and out of your battery bank — so SOC readout stays accurate to within 1% after weeks off-grid. Unlike voltage-based gauges that are unreliable for lithium (LiFePO4), the BMV-712 gives you a true fuel-gauge reading at all times. The Bluetooth VictronConnect integration puts SOC, voltage, current, and trend history on your phone without needing a Cerbo GX.

BMV-712 vs. SmartShunt: Which to Choose

The BMV-712 includes a physical helm or nav-station display panel — best when you want battery status visible at a glance without opening an app. The Victron SmartShunt 500A delivers the same monitoring via Bluetooth only, with no panel display. Choose the BMV-712 for a dedicated readout; choose the SmartShunt when panel space is limited.

System Compatibility

Works with Battle Born LiFePO4, RELiON, Lithionics, Trojan AGM, and flooded lead-acid banks. Integrates with Victron Cerbo GX for VRM online monitoring. Optional VE.Direct to NMEA 2000 interface adds data to the vessel's N2K network (Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine MFDs).

Common Applications

• Sailboat or trawler lithium refit — primary house bank SOC monitor
• Catamaran with dual house banks
• Liveaboard with daily charge cycles and precise energy budgeting
• Offshore passage — track days of remaining energy reserve
