It pairs directly with the VictronConnect app over Bluetooth, giving installers and off-grid builders accurate battery data without the cost of a full BMV monitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features of this smart shunt battery monitor\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShunt rating\u003c\/strong\u003e, 500A continuous current with a 50mV shunt drop, suitable for 12V, 24V and 48V battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth connectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e, built-in Bluetooth links to VictronConnect on iOS and Android for live readings and configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonitored data\u003c\/strong\u003e, state of charge (%), consumed amp hours, voltage, current, power and time remaining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery chemistry support\u003c\/strong\u003e, works with lead-acid (AGM, gel, flooded) and lithium (LiFePO4) batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact form factor\u003c\/strong\u003e, shunt-only design removes the need for a separate display, saving panel space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVE.Direct port\u003c\/strong\u003e, connects to Victron GX devices, MPPT solar charge controllers and other compatible equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 50mV shunt drop at 500A gives the SmartShunt a precise reference for measuring current flowing in and out of the battery. That data is processed internally and sent over Bluetooth to VictronConnect, where readings and history can be reviewed and monitoring parameters adjusted. No display unit is needed, though one can be added later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough the VE.Direct port, the SmartShunt can feed state-of-charge data into a Victron GX device such as a Cerbo GX, making it visible on the VRM portal and usable for load shedding or generator start logic elsewhere in the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccurate SoC tracking depends on setup. Battery capacity, charge efficiency factor, Peukert exponent and tail current threshold can all be adjusted for the specific battery bank in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-grid solar systems needing SoC monitoring without a dedicated display panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarine and narrowboat installations where panel space is limited.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotorhome and campervan leisure battery banks on 12V or 24V systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVictron systems using a Cerbo GX or other GX device via VE.Direct.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetrofit monitoring on existing battery banks where a full BMV is not required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVictron SmartShunt 500A\/50mV unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVE.Direct cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection cable for battery negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentation and quick-start guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SmartShunt fits in the negative battery lead, between the battery negative terminal and all other negative connections. All negative return current must pass through the shunt for accurate readings. Bypassing it with a direct chassis ground will give incorrect results. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced DC systems installer, and by an MCS-accredited installer where the system forms part of a solar PV installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52060512616736,"sku":"SHU050150050","price":72.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-shu050150050-1.webp?v=1785490772","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/victron-smartshunt-battery-monitor","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
