Victron Energy SmartShunt battery monitor 6.5–70V 500A — Bluetooth precision shunt with SoC & amp‑hour tracking

The Victron Energy SmartShunt is an all-in-one Bluetooth-enabled battery monitor and precision shunt that tracks state of charge, voltage, current and amp-hours for 6.5–70V systems up to 500A.

Built to give boaters, RV owners, off-grid installers and maintenance-minded homeowners clear, real-time battery information, the SmartShunt combines high-accuracy shunt measurements with wireless reporting via the VictronConnect app. It replaces bulky battery monitors with a compact, easy-to-install unit that shares live battery data with other Victron devices to improve charging strategy and system visibility.

How does the SmartShunt show battery status on my phone?

The SmartShunt broadcasts live battery metrics over Bluetooth to the VictronConnect app for instant readouts and alarms. You’ll see state of charge, time remaining, voltage, current, amp-hours and historic extremes right on your smartphone without needing a separate display.

• Bluetooth connection to VictronConnect for real-time monitoring
• Instant alarms for low state-of-charge and other conditions
• History of deepest discharge and highest/lowest voltages
• Clear numeric and graphical presentation within the app

What measurements and precision can I expect from the shunt?

The SmartShunt uses precision shunt technology to calculate current flow and cumulative amp-hours accurately, delivering reliable state-of-charge estimates and remaining runtime. It's designed for consistent measurement in 6.5–70V battery banks up to 500 amps.

• Accurate current and amp-hour tracking via a high-precision shunt
• Displays State of Charge (SoC), voltage, current, and time remaining
• Records number of charge cycles and voltage extremes
• Suitable for lead-acid, AGM, GEL and many lithium systems when configured

Can the SmartShunt integrate with other Victron equipment?

Yes — the SmartShunt can wirelessly share battery data with compatible Victron devices through VE.Smart Networking and connect to communication centers for VRM remote management or DVCC system-wide battery control. That enables smarter charging and centralized telemetry for multi-device systems.

• VE.Smart Networking for optimized charging and device coordination
• Connects to Victron communication hubs for VRM remote monitoring
• Supports DVCC for advanced distributed battery charge control
• Optional integration with additional Victron displays and inverters

What extra ports and installation options does the SmartShunt offer?

The SmartShunt includes an auxiliary cable port that can serve several roles: a second battery monitor, midpoint monitor for battery banks, or connection for an external temperature sensor. Its compact form and simple wiring make retrofitting into existing systems straightforward.

• Aux cable for second monitor, midpoint sense or temp sensor
• Can act as a DC energy meter for system-level consumption tracking
• Compact design fits tight battery compartments and is easy to mount
• Clear terminals for high-current connections up to 500A

Who is this for: The Victron Energy SmartShunt suits anyone who needs dependable, precise battery metrics without adding a bulky display — cruisers and liveaboards, RVers, tiny-home and cabin owners, solar installers and service techs who want to optimize charging and monitor battery health remotely. It's ideal when space is limited, accuracy matters and seamless integration with other Victron components is desired.
