This unit behaves wonderfully, just like the description. I currently have it on a 5kVA solar system with a 600Ah - 48v battery bank. I also purchased the optional temperature sensor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076MVPSMQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use the smartphone app literally 20+ times a day to check on the SOC of my battery bank, temperature, etc.. Aside from all the wonderfulness there are a couple quirks that you might like to know about before you purchase this.
- One - the unit connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth. I have been impressed with the range, but the connecting time can be longer than I would expect. It takes on average 10-15 seconds to fully connect to the device. The closer you are to it the faster it connects. If I'm standing right next to it, 5 seconds, but if I'm next to it, I'll just look at the unit itself. Also, is has to reconnect if your screen shuts off. I have my screen-off timer at 30s, so sometimes that can be annoying.
- Two* - the panel unit has +/- realtime power that can be displayed, but this is missing in the app, you can see realtime voltage and current, but it doesn't do the math for you in the app.
*update* This was feature was added in a recent update of the app, so now it shows instantaneous power as well.
- Three - The unit has a bunch of historical data you can view, but in my opinion it doesn't keep track of cycles properly. According to the current firmware version the battery needs to drop below 65% before a cycle has been counted. For example, on average our batteries discharge to about 80% remaining capacity everyday. Somedays more, some less. I've had this installed for over a month and it currently shows 3 "total charge cycles".
- Four - It can only connect to one bluetooth device at a time, but even if the phone/tablet/computer is not actively displaying anything (screen off, etc.) it is still somehow "connected" and prevents another device from seeing it. This drove me crazy for a hour one day when I thought it's bluetooth had quit working. Turns out my computer was still "connected" because I had the app open even after the computer's display was sleeping. I even powered off the BMV-712 and it still was locked to my computer when it restarted. I had to quit the app on my computer before it would show on my phone. But what's weird is it would still need to "reconnect" and go through its procedure when waking up your computer/phone, etc.
As I understand it, the programmers are working on a revision of the current firmware that will add in/fix some of these issues.
The tech support is great, I inquired about the charge cycle issue and they replied within 10min. Very impressed. All in all, I still rate it 5 stars because it has a lot of very useful features and it just works. Easy setup/install. As long as you are aware/okay with the minor quirks, I think you'll love this little meter.
Its also accurate enough that you can turn things on and off and see how many amps they pull which can help to troubleshoot issues or just giving you a good idea how much that light or furnace actually uses from your batteries.
Installation is fairly easy. The shunt needs to go near your batteries and goes between the negative terminal on the battery and all negative cables from the camper. Everything has to run through the shunt to get an accurate reading. There is also a small red cable to run from the shunt to the positive terminal of the battery. The small meter gets installed inside somewhere and there is a small phone type cable which runs from the shunt to the meter.
The shunt is the only negative thing of the whole kit. There are some electronics on it so it needs to stay try. For most campers the batteries are outside in a battery box which may not be 100% water proof. I made it work but I'd like to see a version of the shunt which is more waterproof itself. Also the shunt is rated for 500 amps so the terminals on it are huge. My battery cables were not as big so I had to open them up a bit to fit on the shunt terminals. I don't need anywhere near 500a so it would have been nice to have a smaller shunt with battery sized terminals. Just noting this for other customers but still love the product.
There is also the Bluetooth app which works extremely well to give you much more control and details on whats happening with your electrical system. If you always camp plugged in to shore power this might not be worth it but if you dry camp this is a must have.
Highly recommend this product.

This monitor is easy to wire in to the main negative cable. The positive sensor cable is well made and easy to connect. The shunt is solid with great terminals.
The display is completely functional while managing to also be attractive. We keep ours set to display the state of charge percentage. Other parameters are easily visible using the up and down scroll buttons. The buttons have a great feel. The cable that connects the display to the shunt is really long. I didn’t measure but it is at least 10 meters.
The VictronConnect app is intuitive and actually helpful. All the data I need is easily available. All the commonly changed program variables can be quickly changed and written from the app.
I would definitely recommend this battery monitor to a friend.

Never Been switch off, September 2022 turned off for three days, When it was switch back on the Starboard side BMV-600s Failed to work, Two day later the Port side BMV-600s also failed, On investigation both shunts were the problem, were the RJ12 cable plugs into shunt both had broke off,
Not able to buy new PCB boards, I went for BMV 700,
A need to improve the PCB fitted to the shunt could be a good move.
