BMV-700H High Voltage Battery Monitor (60-385VDC)
The BMV-700H is a high-precision battery monitor that has been specially designed for systems with a high battery voltage ranging from 60 to 385 volts.
These battery monitors calculate the state of charge of a battery and keep track of the ampere-hours consumed from the battery by integrating the current flowing in or out of the battery.
They both come with a round head unit, a square bezel overlay, a screw ring for mounting, a 10m UTP RJ12 cable, a fused power supply cable, and a 500 A/50 mV shunt. Because of the high voltage application, the shunt is housed in a special enclosure.
Battery ‘fuel gauge’, time-to-go indicator, and much more
The remaining battery capacity depends on the ampere-hours consumed, discharge current, temperature, and the age of the battery. Complex software algorithms are needed to take all these variables into account.
Next to the basic display options, such as voltage, current, and ampere-hours consumed, the BMV-700 series also displays the state of charge, time to go, and power consumption in Watts.
Easy to Install
All electrical connections are to the quick-connect PCB on the current shunt. The shunt connects to the monitor with a standard RJ12 telephone cable. Included: RJ12 cable (10m) and battery cable with fuse (2m); No other components are needed.
Also included is a separate front bezel for a square or round display appearance and a securing ring for the rear mounting and screws for the front mounting.
BMV-700H: 60 to 385 VDC Voltage Range
No additional parts are needed. Note: This is suitable for systems with grounded negative only (the battery monitor is not isolated from the shunt).

Regular Cleaning: Clean the BMV-700H unit regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals that could damage the display or internal components.
Ensure Proper Installation: Ensure the battery monitor is securely installed and positioned in a well-ventilated location. Proper installation will prevent damage from vibration or exposure to extreme temperatures.
Inspect Wiring and Connections: Periodically check the wiring, connectors, and terminals for any loose connections, signs of wear, or corrosion. Tighten any loose connections to ensure proper communication between the monitor and the battery system.
Monitor Battery Performance: Use the BMV-700H to continuously monitor your battery’s voltage and charge status. Ensure that the unit is providing accurate data and that your battery system is operating within the recommended voltage range (60-385VDC).
Test Functionality: Periodically verify that the monitor is correctly tracking battery voltage, current, and state of charge. Ensure all readings are accurate and that the system is functioning as expected. Perform a self-test if available to confirm proper operation.
Check for Firmware Updates: If applicable, check for firmware updates from Victron Energy to ensure your unit is running the latest software. Firmware updates can improve accuracy, fix bugs, and provide new features.
Inspect for External Damage: Regularly check the exterior for physical damage, such as cracks or scratches, which could compromise the monitor’s performance. Address any damage promptly to prevent further issues.
Avoid Overloading: Ensure that the monitor’s settings are appropriately configured for your specific high-voltage battery system. Overloading the system with excessive current can affect the accuracy of the monitor or cause damage
