Victron Precision Battery Monitor BMV-600HS

BMV 600HS: 70 to 350VDC voltage range

The essential function of a battery monitor is to calculate ampere-hours consumed and the state of
charge of a battery. Ampere-hours consumed is calculated by integrating the current flowing in or out of
the battery. In case of a constant current, this integration is equivalent to current multiplied by time. A
discharge current of 10A during 2 hours, for example, amounts to 20Ah consumed. All our battery
monitors are based on a powerful microprocessor, programmed with the algorithms needed for
precision monitoring.

Standard information and alarms

• Battery voltage (V).
• Battery charge/discharge current (A).
• Ampere-hours consumed (Ah).
• State of charge (%).
• Time to go at the current rate of discharge.
• Visual and audible alarm: over- and under voltage, and/or battery discharged.
• Programmable alarm or generator start relay.
