This allows you to monitor all critical battery parameters, configure settings, and view historical data without any additional display wiring. VE.Direct Port: For seamless integration with Victron GX devices (e.g., Cerbo GX, ColorControl GX). This enables local monitoring via the GX device and remote monitoring through the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal. Auxiliary Input: Provides additional monitoring capabilities. This input can be configured to track the voltage of a second battery (e.g., a starter battery), monitor the midpoint voltage of a battery bank to detect imbalances, or connect an optional temperature sensor for precise battery temperature monitoring. The SmartShunt is designed to be a streamlined alternative to traditional BMV battery monitors, providing the same high-accuracy data with a simpler, display-free installation. Typical Applications Application Description Off-Grid Solar Systems Essential for monitoring battery health and energy usage in remote cabins, tiny homes, and other standalone power setups. Marine & RV Installations Provides crucial battery status for boats, caravans, and motorhomes, ensuring reliable power for onboard appliances. Backup Power Systems Monitors the readiness and capacity of battery banks used for emergency power in homes or small businesses. Industrial Battery Banks Suitable for larger battery installations requiring high-current monitoring and detailed performance tracking. Built-In Protection Functions The Victron SmartShunt 2000A/50mV features a Protection Category of IP21, indicating protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm and against vertically dripping water. While the unit itself does not have programmable visual or audible alarms or a built-in relay, the VictronConnect app can display various alarms and warnings based on user-defined parameters such as low/high voltage, low State of Charge, and midpoint deviation, providing essential feedback for battery health management. Common Questions What does the SmartShunt monitor? The SmartShunt accurately measures and displays key battery parameters including State of Charge (SoC), voltage, current, power, consumed Amp-hours (Ah), and estimated time remaining. It also stores historical data for long-term analysis of battery performance. How do I view the battery data? All battery data is accessed and configured via the free VictronConnect App on your smartphone or tablet, connected wirelessly via Bluetooth. Alternatively, if integrated with a Victron GX device, data can be viewed on the GX device display or remotely via the Victron VRM portal. Can the SmartShunt monitor multiple batteries? The SmartShunt is designed to monitor a single battery bank. However, its auxiliary input can monitor the voltage of a second battery (e.g., a starter battery) or the midpoint voltage of a larger battery bank to help detect imbalances. What is the difference between SmartShunt and BMV battery monitors? The primary difference is that SmartShunts do not have a built-in display; they rely on the VictronConnect app or a GX device for data visualisation. This allows for a more compact and less cluttered installation. Unlike some BMV models, this SmartShunt variant does not include a programmable relay or visual/audible alarms on the unit itself. Installation Notes The SmartShunt should be installed on the negative side of the battery bank, between the battery's negative terminal and all DC loads and charge sources. Ensure all connections are secure and correctly wired according to the manufacturer's instructions to prevent damage and ensure accurate readings. For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified professional. Always refer to the official Victron Energy SmartShunt manual for detailed installation instructions and safety guidelines. Before You Buy Verify that the 2000A continuous current rating is appropriate for your battery bank and system's maximum current draw. Confirm your system's nominal voltage falls within the SmartShunt's 6.5 - 70 V DC operating range. Consider if you require a physical display; if so, a Victron BMV monitor or a GX device would be necessary in addition to or instead of the SmartShunt. An optional temperature sensor (Victron ASS000100000) is required for battery temperature monitoring via the auxiliary input. All specifications are based on manufacturer data and are subject to change. Please verify compatibility and requirements before purchase. This product comes with a 5-year manufacturer warranty.
