This advanced battery monitor considers variables like ampere-hours consumed, discharge current, temperature, and battery age. Its software algorithms work out these complexities to provide detailed information not just on voltage, current, and ampere-hours consumed, but also on state of charge, time-to-go, and power consumption in Watts. Moreover, the BMV-712 adds an extra input to measure a second battery's voltage, temperature, or midpoint voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSimple Installation Process\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling the BMV-712 is as simple as it gets. All electrical connections link to the quick connect PCB on the current shunt, which connects to the monitor with a standard RJ12 telephone cable. The package includes a 10m RJ 12 cable and a 2m battery cable with fuse. No additional components needed! The package also comes with a separate front bezel for a square or round display, a rear mounting securing ring, and screws for front mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEffortless Programming with Your Smartphone\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetting up the BMV-712 is a breeze, thanks to its quick install menu and detailed setup menu with scrolling texts. For an even simpler solution, you can download our smartphone app and manage settings from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMidpoint Voltage Monitoring – Exclusive to BMV-702 and BMV-712\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreviously a feature of large, industrial battery banks, midpoint voltage monitoring is now accessible and affordable with the BMV-712. This feature is essential for monitoring any battery bank as it alerts you to any deviations that can point to a problem with your battery.
