The Victron SmartShunt IP65 500A is a compact, waterproof battery monitor that provides precise battery monitoring without requiring a dedicated display. Instead, all battery information is available through the VictronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet via built-in Bluetooth, creating a clean, streamlined installation with fewer components and less wiring.
Designed for demanding RV, marine, overland, and off-grid applications, the SmartShunt IP65 continuously monitors battery voltage, current, state of charge, time remaining, and historical performance. It can also communicate with a Victron GX device through its VE.Direct port for integration into a complete Victron energy management system.
