Victron Energy SmartShunt IP65 Bluetooth Battery Monitor 6.5–70V 300A — waterproof, shunt-based SOC and app alerts

The Victron Energy SmartShunt IP65 is a waterproof Bluetooth battery monitor that accurately tracks voltage, current, state of charge and battery health for 6.5–70V systems up to 300A.

The SmartShunt IP65 is an all-in-one battery sensor and shunt designed for boats, RVs, off-grid homes and mobile power systems. It combines precise shunt-based measurements with wireless reporting to the VictronConnect app, giving you real-time battery metrics and alarms without complex wiring. Built to IP65 standards, the unit tolerates dust and water spray, and its compact form makes retrofits straightforward.

How does the SmartShunt show the battery’s state of charge?

The device uses a precision shunt to measure current flow and integrates that with voltage and historical data to calculate state of charge and time remaining. Results are displayed in the VictronConnect app and updated continuously for immediate insight.

• Accurate amp-hour counting via the internal shunt
• Live SOC, voltage and time-to-empty estimates in-app
• Tracks deepest discharge and charge cycle history

Can I use the SmartShunt with other Victron equipment and remote systems?

Yes — the SmartShunt shares battery telemetry wirelessly with compatible Victron devices to improve charging strategies. It can also feed a communication hub for remote monitoring and enable system-wide battery control features.

• VE.Smart Networking for wireless data exchange
• Connect to a communication center for VRM remote monitoring
• Supports DVCC when integrated with a Victron control setup

What physical and connection options does it offer?

The SmartShunt has an integrated auxiliary cable for flexible monitoring roles and optional sensors. Its IP65-rated enclosure withstands dust and splashing, and its compact shunt-body simplifies installation on existing battery banks.

• Aux cable for second battery, midpoint monitoring, or temperature probe
• Designed for 6.5–70V systems, handled current up to 300A
• IP65-rated housing for outdoor and marine use

How will it help me manage charging and battery longevity?

By delivering precise current and voltage information to chargers and inverters, the SmartShunt enables smarter charge decisions and better maintenance. Alarms and historical metrics let you spot issues early and avoid damaging deep discharges.

• Real-time data helps optimize charging cycles
• Alarm notifications alert you to urgent battery conditions
• Records charge cycles and voltage extremes for maintenance planning

Who is this for? The Victron Energy SmartShunt IP65 is aimed at owners of boats, camper vans, tiny homes, and off-grid power systems who need accurate battery telemetry with minimal wiring. It suits installers and DIYers who want waterproof, retrofit-friendly monitoring, Bluetooth access through VictronConnect, and the ability to integrate with larger Victron systems for remote management and advanced battery control.
