If you have 2 physically seperated battery banks, and only one at the time will be used, then 2 BMV's is ok. On the moments you would use both battery banks at the same time, you need to add up each BMV charge or load current value to get the total.


If you have both battery banks always connected in parallel, and if they are always connected and used at the same time, then 1 BMV would be better more easy.

I have connecteed each battery bank to single BMV 712, however, on the VRM, how can both be monitored as on VRM when I choose battery measurements I have to choose one of them?


Kindly advise.
