Our range of solar chargers fitted with a VE.Direct port were lacking battery voltage and temperature charge compensation. Not now!
Also, today we announce the launch of Victron Energy’s Smart Battery Sense – a product to complement the new feature. New, simple, smart …and wireless.
Toward the end of last year we announced the new BMV-712 Smart – like the BMV-702 but with the addition of Bluetooth built-in and reduced current draw. Now we have two helpful new videos explaining a little more about this ‘Smart’ product.Continue reading
Does your BMV state of charge (SOC) synchronise too early or not detect a full charge?
If so it is worth noting there are various settings for differing batteries and systems, to ensure your BMV works correctly.
The default setup and settings are applicable for most situations, however the instructional video below shows you how to optimise the BMV-700 series synchronisation parameters for varying scenarios, to ensure the battery SOC read-out functions correctly.Continue reading
From time to time we hear of people saying they can’t see the loads on their BMV battery monitor – this is down to incorrect wiring. This new instructional video is an aid to ensure the BMV is wired correctly.
There are 3 model variants within the BMV series range: BMV-700 & BMV-702 (6.5- 95 VDC supply voltage range) and the BMV-700HS (60– 385 VDC supply voltage range). The principal function of the BMV series is to follow and indicate the state-of-charge of a battery. The video below gives clear instructions to ensure the BMV-700 and related models are wired correctly.
For the additional functionality that the BMV-702 provides, namely starter battery or temperature or mid-point voltage monitoring, please see the quick install guide.
