It connects to a smartphone or tablet over Bluetooth, so there's no need for a separate display unit. The IP65 rating means it can be fitted in damp or dusty locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVictron SmartShunt key features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShunt rating\u003c\/strong\u003e, 500A \/ 50mV, suited to high-capacity battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP65 enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e, protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth connectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e, pairs directly with the Victron Connect app on iOS and Android.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonitoring\u003c\/strong\u003e, tracks state of charge, voltage, current, power, consumed amp-hours and time remaining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfigurable settings\u003c\/strong\u003e, battery capacity, charge efficiency factor, Peukert exponent and tail current, for lead-acid, AGM, gel and lithium chemistries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelay output\u003c\/strong\u003e, programmable for high or low voltage alarms, state-of-charge alarms or other user-defined triggers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVE.Direct port\u003c\/strong\u003e, links to Victron GX devices, MPPT controllers and Venus OS installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SmartShunt replaces a separate shunt-and-display combination with one compact unit. Configuration and monitoring both happen in the Victron Connect app, so no wiring is needed for a remote panel. That suits installations where panel space is tight or the battery bank sits somewhere awkward. Fed through a VE.Direct cable, the SmartShunt's readings can also appear on a Cerbo GX or Venus GX alongside solar yield, inverter load and grid status.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-grid solar systems needing battery monitoring without a dedicated display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarine and narrowboat installations, where IP65 protection guards against condensation and bilge spray.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotorhome, campervan and caravan leisure batteries, monitored from a phone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery storage integrated with Victron GX devices for whole-system visibility via Venus OS.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-grid installations where the battery enclosure sits away from any control panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SmartShunt fits in the negative battery cable, between the battery negative terminal and every other negative connection in the system. All negative loads and charge sources must pass through it for the current reading to be accurate. Systems above 48V, or lithium installations, should be wired by a qualified electrician. A VE.Direct cable is needed for GX integration but isn't included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1 x Victron SmartShunt 500A\/50mV IP65 unit\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52060516745504,"sku":"SHU065150050","price":78.61,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-shu065150050-1.webp?v=1785491348","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/victron-smartshunt-battery-monitor-ip65","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
