xVictron SmartShunt 2000A — SHU050220050
The Victron SmartShunt 2000A is a standalone battery monitor designed for high-current battery systems where accurate state-of-charge tracking is essential. It connects directly to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, removing the need for a separate display unit. Suited to professional off-grid, marine and vehicle installations where large battery banks are in use.
Key Features
- 2000A continuous current rating, suitable for large battery banks and high-draw systems.
- Built-in Bluetooth connectivity allows monitoring via the Victron Connect app on iOS and Android without additional hardware.
- Measures state of charge, voltage, current, power, consumed amp-hours, and time remaining.
- No display unit required — the SmartShunt acts as the monitor itself, keeping installation compact.
- Compatible with the Victron VE.Direct port for integration with GX devices, MPPT controllers and other Victron equipment.
- Supports multiple battery chemistries including lead-acid (AGM, gel, flooded) and lithium (LiFePO4).
- Configurable alarm and relay outputs for low state-of-charge or voltage threshold alerts.
Product Overview
The SmartShunt replaces the traditional shunt-plus-display combination with a single unit. All monitoring data is accessed through the Victron Connect app over Bluetooth, which provides a clear dashboard view of battery status in real time. This approach reduces wiring complexity and eliminates the need to mount a dedicated display panel, which is particularly useful in space-constrained installations such as motorhomes, narrowboats and off-grid cabins.
At 2000A, this is the highest-rated model in the SmartShunt range. It is intended for systems with very large battery banks or high continuous loads, such as electric propulsion assist, large inverter installations or commercial off-grid setups. The VE.Direct port allows the SmartShunt to feed data into a Victron Cerbo GX or other GX device, making it a straightforward addition to a full Victron system. Battery chemistry and capacity parameters are configured in the app, ensuring accurate state-of-charge calculations for the specific battery type in use.
The unit also supports synchronisation with solar charge controllers and other sources, so the state-of-charge reading accounts for all charge and discharge currents entering and leaving the battery. This is important in multi-source systems where accuracy would otherwise be compromised by unmonitored charge paths.

Installation Notes
The SmartShunt must be installed by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator. At 2000A, the unit is intended for high-current DC systems where incorrect wiring presents a serious risk of damage or injury. The shunt must be placed on the negative battery terminal side, with all negative loads and charge sources connected to the load side of the shunt. Ensure cable sizing and fusing are appropriate for the system current. Configuration of battery parameters should be completed in the Victron Connect app before commissioning to ensure accurate monitoring from the outset.
