It connects directly to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, removing the need for a separate display unit. The IP65 rating makes it suitable for installations in damp or dusty environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e500A continuous current rating with a 50mV shunt drop, suitable for high-capacity battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP65 rated enclosure, providing protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth for direct connection to the Victron Connect app on iOS and Android devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMonitors state of charge, voltage, current, power, consumed amp-hours and time remaining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConfigurable battery capacity, charge efficiency factor, Peukert exponent and tail current settings to suit lead-acid, AGM, gel and lithium battery chemistries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelay output for high or low voltage alarms, state-of-charge alarms or other user-defined triggers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with the Victron VE.Direct ecosystem, allowing integration with GX devices, MPPT controllers and Venus OS installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo display required on the unit itself, reducing installation complexity and cost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SmartShunt replaces a traditional battery monitor shunt and display combination with a single compact unit. All monitoring and configuration is handled through the Victron Connect app over Bluetooth, which means there is no wiring required for a remote display panel. This is particularly useful in installations where panel space is limited or where the battery bank is located in an awkward position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500A\/50mV rating means the shunt itself produces a 50 millivolt drop at full rated current. This is the standard shunt specification used across most battery monitor designs and is compatible with the measurement circuitry built into the SmartShunt. The IP65 rating distinguishes this variant from the standard SmartShunt: it is housed in a sealed enclosure that resists dust and water ingress, making it appropriate for engine rooms, battery compartments in boats, caravans and outdoor off-grid enclosures where condensation or spray may be present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe VE.Direct port allows the SmartShunt to feed data into a Victron GX device such as a Cerbo GX or Venus GX, making battery state-of-charge visible on a system overview alongside solar yield, inverter load and grid status. This integration is straightforward and requires only a standard VE.Direct cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border: 2px solid #f87c24; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f87c24; color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSHU065150050\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eShunt rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e500A \/ 50mV\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eIP rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eIP65\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eBluetooth (Victron Connect app), VE.Direct\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCompatible battery chemistries\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eLead-acid, AGM, gel, lithium\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eRelay output\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eYes (programmable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e0.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGTIN\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e8719076057895\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid solar systems requiring accurate battery state-of-charge monitoring without a dedicated display panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine and narrowboat installations where IP65 protection is needed against condensation and bilge spray.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhome, campervan and caravan leisure battery banks monitored via smartphone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBattery storage systems integrated with Victron GX devices for whole-system monitoring via Venus OS.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommercial off-grid installations where the battery enclosure is remote from any control panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Victron SmartShunt 500A\/50mV IP65 unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SmartShunt must be installed in the negative battery cable between the battery negative terminal and all other negative connections in the system.
