Advanced Battery Monitoring & Data
The Victron SmartShunt provides a detailed overview of your battery system's performance and health, transmitting this information wirelessly via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect App. Key parameters monitored include:
- Battery Voltage: Displays voltage for the main battery bank and an optional auxiliary battery.
- Battery Midpoint Voltage Monitoring: Essential for multi-battery banks, helping to maintain balance and alert to deviations.
- Battery State of Charge (SoC): Indicated as a percentage from 0-100%.
- Charge/Discharge Current & Power: Shows energy flow into (positive) and out of (negative) the battery.
- Amp-hours Consumed: Tracks the total energy drawn from the battery.
- Time-to-Go: Estimates the remaining runtime based on current load and battery capacity.
- Battery Temperature: (Requires optional Victron battery temperature sensor, sold separately) Allows for temperature-compensated capacity adjustments and alerts.
- Historical Data: A comprehensive log records highest/lowest voltages, deepest discharge, time since last full charge, and more for long-term analysis.
Users can customise high/low thresholds for battery voltage, state of charge, or temperature, triggering alarms within the VictronConnect App if parameters fall outside the specified range.
Typical Applications
| Application | Description |
|---|---|
| Off-Grid Solar Systems | Essential for monitoring battery health and energy usage in remote cabins, tiny homes, and standalone power setups. |

It includes capabilities for setting custom high/low voltage thresholds for both main and auxiliary batteries, as well as state of charge and temperature (with optional sensor) alarms. These alarms are activated within the VictronConnect App if any monitored parameter falls outside the user-defined safe range, providing timely alerts to prevent potential issues. The unit adheres to safety and emission standards including EN 60335-1 and EN-IEC 61000 series, ensuring reliable and safe operation.
Common Questions
What is the primary benefit of the SmartShunt's Bluetooth feature?
The integrated Bluetooth allows for wireless monitoring and configuration of your battery system using the VictronConnect App on a smartphone or tablet. This eliminates the need for a dedicated display, offering convenience and flexibility.
Can the SmartShunt monitor multiple battery banks?
Yes, the SmartShunt has a secondary input that can be used to monitor the voltage of an auxiliary battery bank or to monitor the midpoint voltage of a large battery bank for balancing purposes.
What battery types are compatible with this SmartShunt?
The Victron 1000A SmartShunt is suitable for use with 12V, 24V, or 48V Lead Acid (Gel, AGM) and Lithium battery types.
Does the SmartShunt require a separate power source?
No, the SmartShunt draws its power directly from the battery bank it is monitoring. It has an extremely low current draw to minimise impact on battery life.
Installation Notes
- Always connect the shunt on the negative battery wire, as close to the battery bank as possible.
- Ensure all connections are secure and correctly polarised to prevent damage.
- Refer to the manufacturer's official user manual for detailed wiring diagrams and installation instructions.
- The SmartShunt is supplied with two 1.5m positive supply cables with fuses for connection to up to two battery banks.
Before You Buy
