A high precision battery monitor that displays an array of data including voltage, current and ampere hours consumed, as well as state of charge, time to go and power consumption in watts. This BMV-702 model also features an additional input which can be programmed to measure the voltage of a second battery, battery temperature or midpoint voltage.

Midpoint voltage monitoring is often used to monitor large and expensive battery banks, but for the first time is available at a low cost, to monitor any battery bank. A battery bank consists of a string of series connected cells, the midpoint voltage is the voltage halfway along the string. Ideally, the midpoint voltage would be exactly half of the total voltage. 

In practice however, deviations will be seen that depend on many factors such as a different state of charge for new batteries of cells, different temperatures, internal leakage currents, capacities and much more. Large or increasing deviation of the midpoint voltage, points to improper battery care or a failed battery or cell. Corrective action following a midpoint voltage alarm can prevent severe damage to an expensive battery.

All electrical connections are to the quick connect PCV on the current shunt. The shunt connects to the monitor with a standard RJ12 telephone cable. A 10 metre RJ12 cable and 2 metre battery cable with fuse are included, no other components are required. Also included are a separate front bezel for a square or round display appearance, a securing ring for the rear mounting and screws for the front mounting.

BMV-702 is easy to program with your smartphone when you download the smartphone app and purchase a Bluetooth Smart dongle. Alternatively, the quick install menu and detailed setup menu with scrolling texts assist the user when going through the various settings.
