Victron Battery Monitor BMV-702

The BMV-700 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. Ampere hours consumed are calculated by integrating the current flowing in or out of the battery. 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 state of charge, time to go, and power consumption in Watts.The BMV-702 features an additional input which can be programmed to measure the voltage (of a second battery), battery temperature or midpoint voltage (see below). Bluetooth Smart: Use the Bluetooth Smart dongle to monitor your batteries on Apple or Android smartphones, tablets, macbooks an...
