xVictron SmartShunt 1000A/50mV IP65
The Victron SmartShunt 1000A/50mV IP65 is a standalone battery monitor that measures current, voltage, power, state of charge, time to go, and historical data without requiring a dedicated display unit. It connects to the VictronConnect app via Bluetooth, making it well suited to installations where a panel-mounted display is impractical or unnecessary. The IP65 rating makes it suitable for use in damp or dusty environments.
Key Features
- 1000A continuous current measurement with a 50mV shunt drop, suitable for large battery banks in off-grid, marine and vehicle installations.
- IP65-rated enclosure provides protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, extending the range of suitable installation locations.
- Bluetooth connectivity built in: configure and monitor via the VictronConnect app on iOS or Android with no additional hardware required.
- Monitors state of charge, voltage, current, power consumption, and time remaining on a single device with no external display needed.
- Stores historical data including deepest discharge, average discharge, total charge cycles, and cumulative energy throughput.
- Compatible with the VE.Direct port for integration with Victron GX devices, MPPT solar charge controllers, and the VRM online monitoring portal.
- Supports a wide battery voltage range and is compatible with all common battery chemistries including lithium, AGM, gel and flooded lead-acid.
Product Overview
The SmartShunt replaces a traditional shunt-and-display combination by integrating all monitoring electronics directly into the shunt body. All configuration is handled through VictronConnect, where you set battery capacity, charge efficiency, Peukert exponent, and charge floor to match your specific battery bank. Once configured, the device runs independently and logs data continuously, whether or not a phone or tablet is connected.
The 1000A rating makes this variant appropriate for larger systems: high-capacity lithium battery banks, parallel battery configurations, or installations with significant DC loads such as inverters, bow thrusters or electric drives. The 50mV shunt voltage drop is standard for this current class and keeps resistive losses negligible at typical operating currents. The VE.Direct port allows the SmartShunt to feed battery data directly into a Victron Cerbo GX or other GX device, making it a straightforward addition to any Victron-based system architecture.
The IP65 rating distinguishes this model from the standard SmartShunt variants. It is particularly relevant in engine bays, bilges, caravans and outdoor battery enclosures where condensation or splash exposure is a realistic concern. The housing is sealed to prevent moisture and particulate ingress without compromising access to the VE.Direct port or the Bluetooth antenna performance.

Installation Notes
The SmartShunt must be installed in the negative battery lead, between the battery negative terminal and all other negative connections in the system. Incorrect wiring will produce inaccurate readings. For systems connected to shore power, generators or solar charge controllers, all charge sources must be accounted for in the wiring to ensure accurate current measurement. Installation in 12V, 24V and 48V DC systems should be carried out by a competent electrician or qualified installer familiar with battery systems. For marine installations, compliance with relevant NMEA or RCD Directive requirements should be confirmed with the installer.
