Victron Energy SmartShunt IP65 Battery Shunt & Monitor Bluetooth 6.5–70V 500A – Waterproof, App-Enabled SOC and Alarm

The Victron Energy SmartShunt IP65 is a waterproof, Bluetooth-enabled battery shunt that gives precise state-of-charge, voltage and current monitoring with in-app dashboards and system integration.

Designed for boats, RVs, off-grid cabins and professional DC systems, the SmartShunt IP65 combines a high-accuracy shunt with wireless telemetry and auxiliary connections to deliver real-time battery status to your phone or to other Victron components. Its sealed housing makes it suitable for damp environments, and the VictronConnect app presents measurements, alarms and history in a compact, user-friendly format.

How does the SmartShunt show battery condition at a glance?

The SmartShunt calculates key metrics such as state of charge, voltage, current and amp-hours using precision shunt measurements. Data is visible immediately in the VictronConnect app without repeated pairing, and urgent conditions can trigger push alerts on your phone.

• Real-time readouts: voltage, current, amp-hours and time remaining
• Accurate state-of-charge based on measured amps in and out
• Instant alarms for low voltage, high current or other user-set limits
• History and peak values: deepest discharge, highest and lowest voltages

Can the SmartShunt work with other Victron devices and remote systems?

Yes — the SmartShunt shares battery data wirelessly with compatible Victron equipment using VE.Smart Networking and can feed a communication center for remote monitoring and coordinated charge control. This enables smarter charging strategies across multi-component systems.

• VE.Smart Networking for automatic data sharing among Victron products
• Supports connection to a communication center for VRM remote monitoring
• Enables DVCC when part of a full Victron ecosystem for system-wide charge control
• Aux cable available for secondary monitoring or optional temperature sensing

What installation and environmental features should I expect?

The SmartShunt IP65 is built for flexible installation: its sealed enclosure keeps out water and dust, and its compact shunt form factor fits into new or existing battery banks. Wiring is straightforward and the integrated auxiliary lead lets you add sensors or a second monitoring point.

• IP65-rated housing for splash and dust resistance
• Fits battery systems from 6.5 to 70 V and measures up to 500 A
• Integrated aux connector for midpoint monitoring, temp sensors or second monitor
• Retrofit-friendly physical layout for boats, RVs and stationary systems

What measurements and long-term data does the SmartShunt record?

The SmartShunt logs a variety of electrical and lifecycle parameters to help you understand battery condition over time. These metrics support smarter maintenance decisions and allow you to optimize charging and usage patterns.

• Amp hours in/out and cumulative number of charge cycles
• Calculated time remaining and current state of charge percentage
• Recorded extremes: deepest discharge, highest and lowest voltages
• Ongoing live feed visible locally and to remote VRM portals when connected

Who is this for? The Victron Energy SmartShunt IP65 is aimed at owners and integrators who need accurate battery telemetry in harsh or damp environments: marine and RV enthusiasts, off-grid homeowners, installers of DC power systems, and professionals who require remote monitoring and smart charging coordination. If you want precise battery metrics, waterproof reliability and seamless integration with other Victron components, the SmartShunt provides a compact, retrofit-friendly solution.
