Victron Energy SmartShunt IP65 Battery Monitor (Bluetooth) – 6.5–70V, 1000A

Overview

The Victron Energy SmartShunt IP65 Battery Monitor with Bluetooth is a compact, all-in-one solution designed to live alongside your battery bank. Built for durability, its IP65 enclosure stands up to water, dust, and tough environments while delivering precise, real‑time data to your phone. This makes it a versatile companion for boats, RVs, off‑grid cabins, and other power setups where you want clearer insight into battery health without extra bulky meters.

What you see in the VictronConnect app

With instant readouts, you can quickly check essential battery health at a glance. The app surface presents key indicators and can alert you to urgent matters, helping you stay informed even when you’re away from the system.

• Current State of Charge
• Time Remaining
• Voltage and Current
• Amp Hours and Charge Cycles
• Deepest Discharge and Voltage Extremes

Precision you can rely on

The SmartShunt uses high‑accuracy shunt technology to calculate what you need to know about your battery’s condition. Data is updated wirelessly to compatible Victron devices, helping you understand how your battery behaves under varying loads and charging conditions.

Smart integrations for a smarter system

VE.Smart Networking lets the monitor share data with other Victron devices, enabling smarter charging and coordination across the network. If you add VRM (Remote Management) or DVCC (centralized charge control), your system can respond more efficiently to changing conditions, without manual reconfiguration.

Flexible auxiliary options

The built‑in Aux lead supports multiple roles: as a second monitor, to observe a midpoint, or to connect an optional temperature sensor. In certain setups, the SmartShunt can also function as a versatile DC energy meter for broader insight into energy flow.

• Second battery monitor in the same system
• Midpoint or sectional monitoring for larger banks
• Optional temperature sensing for temperature‑aware data
• DC energy metering in compatible configurations

Real‑world use cases

In an off‑grid cabin, you could monitor battery health from your phone while adjusting solar charging. On a motorhome or sailboat, you can track how the battery bank performs under different loads and charging cycles, keeping an eye on performance without installing bulky meters in every corner.

Why this matters

Having live data and alerts supports informed decisions about charging, discharge, and system health. While individual results vary, users often report greater awareness of battery behavior and smoother operation of power systems when they can monitor data in real time.

Key specs and capabilities

Designed for 6.5V–70V systems with a 1000 A measurement range, the IP65 enclosure delivers protection in wet or dusty environments. Bluetooth connectivity means you can view data from your VictronConnect app without running cables to a display, and the data can integrate with other Victron devices for a coordinated power strategy.
