Victron Energy SmartShunt Battery Monitoring
Estimated Delivery: 1-3 working days, with free delivery
High-precision monitoring of the battery's state of charge, voltage, charge/discharge current and more. Features inbuilt Bluetooth for real-time system monitoring and programming via a mobile device. Secondary input for monitoring of an auxiliary battery.
The Victron 500A, 1000A & 2000A VS series SmartShunt uses a high-precision battery shunt designed to expertly measure vital charging and performance data for your batteries. This smart model features additional advanced functions such as Bluetooth communication ability, a secondary input for optional monitoring of an auxiliary battery bank, and an extremely low current draw from the battery bank (0.7Ah per month for a 12V system). Statistics such as battery voltage, charge/discharge current as energy flows in to and out of the battery, Amp Hours consumed, state of charge and time-to-go can be viewed and the settings can be programmed using the inbuilt Bluetooth via any Bluetooth-enabled mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet.
Victron Energy is a globally renowned manufacturer of high-quality hybrid power electronics. Victron Energy products have a longstanding reputation for their outstanding reliability, innovative design and superior build quality.
Battery data
The SmartShunt measures the vital parameters relating to the battery condition and the energy it receives/provides and transmits this information via Bluetooth, where it can be viewed by the user (and where settings can be amended if necessary). This information includes:
- Battery voltage: Displayed for the main battery/battery bank, and also for an optional auxiliary battery which can be connected via the secondary input.
- Battery midpoint voltage monitoring: For battery banks constructed of several individual batteries, the SmartShunt is able to maintain balance by taking the voltage measurements from the midpoint within the bank, and if the voltage deviates from this point of balance, an alarm will be generated. For such battery banks, the voltage value is also displayed for the battery bank as a whole, and additionally, for the 'top section' and 'bottom section' (i.e. 1st half and 2nd half) of the battery bank.
- Battery state of charge: Indicated as a percentage value from 0-100%.
- Battery charging/discharging current and power: The current (A) and power (W) flowing out of the battery (load consumption) are displayed as negative values, while the current and power flowing into the battery are displayed as positive values.
- Battery temperature: The SmartShunt can be connected to an optional Victron battery temperature sensor (sold separately). This temperature measurement can be used to adjust available battery capacity as the temperature varies. An alarm will be activated when the battery temperature falls outside of the safe range.
- Amp-hours consumed: For example, if 12A is drawn from a fully charged battery during a period of 3 hours, the app will show -36.0Ah consumed by the battery.
- Time-to-go: The SmartShunt is able to estimate the approximate length of time that the battery will continue to support the current load before the battery requires re-charging.
An in-depth data log also records historical data to enable the user to evaluate usage patterns and determine overall battery health. This includes values such as the highest/ lowest recorded voltages (for the main battery and auxiliary battery), deepest recorded discharge, time since last full discharge, cumulative Amp hours drawn, time since last full charge, total energy charged/discharged and many more.
Customisation
The user can set high/low thresholds for battery voltage (either battery), battery state of charge (main battery) or the battery temperature (additional sensor required). If any of the above parameters fall outside of this specified range, the battery shunt will activate an alarm on the connected mobile app.
Advanced communication
This smart battery monitor features inbuilt Bluetooth, enabling the user to wirelessly connect their mobile device to the monitor. Then, using the VictronConnect App on a smartphone or tablet, you will unlock numerous possibilities for advanced programming and remote monitoring of your battery system. A wide range of features are made available, including real-time data transmission, as well as the option to amend battery storage information, program alarms, and set up or join an existing VE.Smart network. Alternatively, the VE Direct USB cable can be used to establish a connection to a non-Bluetooth-enabled PC/laptop.
The VictronConnect app is compatible with most mobile devices and computers, including Android and iOS smartphones, tablets, iPads, MacBooks, and Windows PCs/laptops.
Compatibility
This SmartShunt is suitable for use with any 12V, 24V or 48V Lead Acid / Gel / AGM / Lithium battery or battery bank.
For the 500A model: The maximum admissible nominal current through the shunt is 500A.
For the 1000A model: The maximum admissible nominal current through this device using the supplied shunt is 1000A.
For the 2000A model: The maximum admissible nominal current through this device using the supplied shunt is 2000A.
Additional items
The shunt is also supplied with 2 x 1.5m positive supply cables with a fuse to connect the battery shunt to up to two battery banks.

To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
Once the right to cancel period has expired we may still accept returns, although additional charges will be applicable. However, these regulations do not restrict the statutory right to cancel and do not apply during the 14 days cancellation period.
Effects of Cancellation
If you cancel this contract during the 14 day cancellation period, we will reimburse all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than –
(a) 14 days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied, or
(b) (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods, or
(c) if there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest. You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired.
