Victron SmartShunt IP65 500A/50mV

The SmartShunt serves as a comprehensive battery monitoring solution that eschews the need for a physical display. Instead, it leverages your smartphone or tablet as a viewing screen. Through a Bluetooth connection, it syncs with the VictronConnect app, allowing you to effortlessly access a wide range of battery metrics such as charge status, remaining time, and historical data, among others.

For those who prefer or require a traditional display, the SmartShunt can also integrate with a GX device via a VE.Direct cable, offering another versatile option for monitoring.

This device presents a streamlined alternative to the conventional BMV battery monitor, particularly suited to setups that benefit from reduced wiring and a cleaner installation. It features Bluetooth connectivity, a VE.Direct port, and an additional port for dual battery monitoring, midpoint checks, or attaching a temperature sensor.

The SmartShunt is available in various models to suit different needs and environments, with IP21 rated versions (500A, 1000A, 2000A) for standard applications and IP65 rated versions (500A, 1000A, 2000A) for conditions requiring dust and water resistance.

The SmartShunt IP65 revolutionizes battery monitoring by eliminating the need for a traditional display; instead, it uses your smartphone or tablet as the interface. This water-resistant model comes in capacities of 500 A, 1000 A, or 2000 A, catering to a wide range of power requirements. It seamlessly pairs with the VictronConnect app over Bluetooth, offering easy access to vital battery statistics such as charge status, remaining runtime, and historical insights, directly from your device.

For those preferring or requiring hardware integration, the SmartShunt IP65 can also interface with a GX device through a VE.Direct cable, providing flexibility in how you monitor your battery’s health.

Serving as a streamlined substitute for the conventional BMV battery monitor, the SmartShunt IP65 is ideal for setups that benefit from minimal cabling and less physical clutter. It’s designed with Bluetooth connectivity, a VE.Direct port, and an auxiliary port for additional monitoring capabilities, such as a secondary battery, midpoint assessments, or a temperature sensor.

When comparing it to the BMV-712 Battery Monitor, notable differences include the lack of visual and audible alarms (with notifications available through the VictronConnect app or a GX device instead), no programmable relay, enhanced durability with its waterproof design, and the integration of the shunt within the battery monitor unit itself, emphasizing its all-in-one convenience.
