This Victron Battery Monitor keeps track of current flowing in and out of a battery bank and uses a sophisticated algorithm to read out the state of charge of the battery in Percentage Remaining and Amp Hours Remaining. It also displays Volts and Amps time to go, and Consumed Energy and keeps track of Historic Data including Battery Efficiency, Average Discharge, Deepest Discharge, Number of Cycles, Overvoltage, and Undervoltage Alarms.

Victron Energy BMV 700 single bank amp hour meter and energy monitor Monitors volts, amps, amp hours and time to go for a single battery bank.
Included shunt measures up to 500 Amps
For use with DC systems from 12 to 90 volts
Visual and audible alarms and programmable alarm
10 metre cable, connectors and fuse included.
Removeable bezel allows round or square face for display

If you add the Victron Energy Bluetooth Dongle you can read the information on your iPhone or Android device wirelessly. Or you can get the BMV 712 which has Bluetooth built-in.

Installation tips:

If you need to locate the shunt in an exposed place where it might get knocked I recommend the Blue Sea 2719 as a housing for the shunt. This is not a waterproof housing, if you want a waterproof housing you have to make your own but take a look at the one shown on the "Additional Information" tab of this listing.

Q: Can I use this on a back of batteries of 6 to tell me what % the bank has amp hrs left?

Asked by: Doug - 2/25/2015

A: Yes, that is what it if for, the batteries must be together in one bank.
