Victron Energy Smart Battery Shunt Battery Monitor 6.5V-70V, 500A

The battery monitor function on my control panel doesn't work and I was worried about damaging the battery by draining it too much.. I installed the smart shunt and it's brilliant, I can now get a handle on how much power I'm using at any given time and I now understand how much power each thing uses in the van, the old monitor would never give me this detail. So simple to install, took ten minutes..my only gripe is that the Bluetooth signal is pretty weak. When I stand outside the van on the opposite side from where the shunt is it doesn't connect, which is no more that 3m away..but it works no.probs when I'm in the van which is most important. I'd advise anyone with a camper to get one, it gives you way more information than a standard control panel battery monitor. Therefore a much better understanding of your energy use.

This is a game changer to see what’s going on in real time one of the best things I’ve bought would recommend to buy

Being so expensive I wondered if I’d really get good value out of this gadget. But I don’t regret it at all. Not only is it very versatile in being compatible with many different types of systems, voltages and batteries, extending its usefulness whichever direction k decide to go with my off grid system in future, but it’s so much more useful for monitoring battery bank status than voltage measurements. It’s constant output of information let’s you determine exactly what is going into and out of your battery, and gives you a much more useful and instantaneous idea of how long your battery bank will last under different usage scenarios. I couldn’t reccommend another Victron product more, and it integrates even better if you are using Victron products for your full installation. I only wish I knew this could perform the same features as the smart battery sense before I bought both of them. I could have just bought the temperature sensor and hooked it up to this shunt instead via the aux port.

I have 2 of these and they both work excellent. The readings are accurate. The set up is easy. Easy to connect and the Bluetooth connectivity is great with the Victron Ve Direct app. You can set parameters and monitor battery status and also see what power is being charged or discharged from your batteries, view battery history and lots more. This shunt is sharing data with my other Victron units in a network and this system works great too.

Excellent piece of kit if you want to know how your battery and charge system are doing.

I have been wanting a shunt for a few years now for our narrowboat but have been reluctant to spend big money on a quality one and even more reluctant to buy a cheap unreliable . When I saw this it provided a great compromise between cist and quality. I like the fact that there is no wall display to clutter my already busy control panel. I also like the fact that it better guides my victron battery charger to be more efficient. I particularly like the fact that I can clearly see how often my battery comes back to a full charge state, essential for lead acid batteries. For those concerned about reports of poor connectivity via Bluetooth DON'T. Yes it can be a little glitchy if rushed. Our batteries are kept in the engine room and I manage to get a signal from about 4meters away. The only time I struggle is when I don't allow the app to correctly register all the devices first. Open the app and allow it to correctly identify ALL available victron devices before making your selection 1st. The only thing I was a little unhappy with is the data logging only happens whilst connected via Bluetooth. It would be nice to see daily usage rather than an accumulative total

Excellent product that is well built and does everything I need. It didn't always correctly report state of charge, but the SmartShunt is highly configurable and a change of settings fixed this issue. I must add that Nomadic Leisure were the seller and provided very fast and detailed support, so I recommend choosing them given various sellers supply thuis product on Amazon. Will definitely buy again for our next campervan.

Works as expected to keep an eye on SOC of storage batteries as a percentage of total capacity so I then know when to run appliances so as not to waste energy.

Parfait et vraiment indispensable. 👍👍👍

Snabb leverans och den fungerar jättebra. Lätt att holla koll på batterikapasiteten via appen.

Victron ! No more to say . Excellent quality, easy to install and works seamlessly.

Good price thanks

so far just use to monitor my battery bank
