Detailed description

Designed for discreet and precise monitoring of your battery status, the SmartShunt 500A/50mV Victron Energy is a battery monitor without an integrated display. It uses your smartphone or tablet as the primary display interface via the VictronConnect app and a Bluetooth connection. This solution provides easy and complete access to all monitored parameters, including state of charge, remaining autonomy, and historical battery bank data.

Connectivity and Monitoring Functions

The SmartShunt 500A/50mV integrates a VE.Direct port for direct connection to a GX device, enabling integration into more complex energy management systems. It features a versatile auxiliary connection, usable to monitor the voltage of a second battery, the midpoint of a battery bank, or to connect an optional temperature probe (reference ASS000100000). Recorded data includes battery voltage, current, state of charge (in percentage), and auxiliary input, with trend history stored for 46 days.

Technical Specifications and Integration

This model has a supply voltage range of 6.5 to 70 VDC and a low current consumption of less than 1 mA. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +50°C. Current measurement accuracy is ±0.4 % and voltage accuracy is ±0.3 %. The SmartShunt 500A/50mV is rated IP21: it is installed in a protected space (for a waterproof version, see the SmartShunt IP65, ref. SHU065150050). Its dimensions are 46 x 120 x 54 mm and its shunt connection bolts are M10 type. It represents an alternative to BMV battery monitors, ideal for installations seeking to reduce wiring and bulk in the absence of a dedicated display, while offering detailed monitoring via the mobile app or a GX system.

« SmartShunt 500A/50mV: Victron integration without display »

The Victron Energy SmartShunt 500A/50mV positions itself as a strategic battery monitoring solution for installations where discretion and digital integration are priorities. Its lack of a direct screen, unlike BMV models, significantly simplifies wiring and allows it to be housed in confined or hidden spaces, such as technical compartments or keel wells. Data consultation is performed via the VictronConnect app on a smartphone/tablet or through an existing GX device, which is particularly advantageous for users already equipped with the Victron ecosystem.

The integration of the auxiliary input is a major asset, offering the flexibility to monitor a second battery, the midpoint of a bank (essential for the longevity of series-connected batteries), or temperature, without requiring additional complex equipment. It is crucial to consider the installation environment for Bluetooth connectivity; in metal hulls or areas with high water density, a wired VE.Direct connection to a GX device may be preferable for optimal stability. This SmartShunt is a relevant choice for mobile or fixed installations where space is limited and where a modern, centralized user interface is preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the SmartShunt 500A/50mV and what is it used for?

The SmartShunt 500A/50mV is an all-in-one battery monitor designed to track the status of your battery bank. It operates without a built-in display, using your phone or tablet as the display interface via the VictronConnect app. It allows you to monitor essential parameters such as state of charge, remaining autonomy, and battery history.

How does the SmartShunt display battery information?

The SmartShunt connects via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect app, installed on your phone or tablet. It is this app that acts as the display for viewing all monitored parameters. It can also be connected and read by a Victron Energy GX device via a VE.Direct cable.

What battery parameters can the SmartShunt monitor?

The SmartShunt can monitor several important battery parameters, including:

State of charge (percentage)
Remaining autonomy (time until discharge)
Battery voltage
Current (charge/discharge)
Detailed historical data
Voltage of a second battery, midpoint, or temperature (if a sensor is connected) via its auxiliary input.

What is the supply voltage range of the SmartShunt 500A/50mV?

The SmartShunt 500A/50mV has an input voltage range from 6.5 VDC to 70 VDC. This wide range makes it compatible with most 12V, 24V, and 48V battery systems.

The SmartShunt 500A/50mV has a very low current draw, under 1 mA. This minimizes the impact on your battery discharge when it is in operation.

What is the maximum battery capacity the SmartShunt can monitor?

The SmartShunt 500A/50mV can be configured to monitor batteries or battery banks with a capacity ranging from 1 Ah to 9999 Ah.

Is the SmartShunt 500A/50mV water- and dust-resistant?

No, the standard SmartShunt 500A/50mV (part number SHU050150050) is rated IP21: it must be installed in a space protected from moisture (closed battery locker, electrical panel). For an installation exposed to water spray, Victron offers the SmartShunt IP65 version (part number SHU065150050), which is fully sealed.

What are the physical dimensions of the SmartShunt 500A/50mV?

The dimensions of the SmartShunt 500A/50mV are 46 mm (height) x 120 mm (width) x 54 mm (depth).

Can the SmartShunt monitor battery temperature?

Yes, the SmartShunt is equipped with an auxiliary connection that can be used to monitor battery temperature. To do this, an external Victron Energy temperature probe (reference ASS000100000) is required and must be connected to the auxiliary input.

How long are data logs retained on the SmartShunt?

The SmartShunt stores trend data (battery voltage, current, state of charge, and auxiliary input) for 46 days. This data can be accessed via the VictronConnect app for in-depth analysis.

What are the main differences between the SmartShunt and a BMV battery monitor?

The SmartShunt is an alternative to the BMV battery monitor, designed to reduce wiring and clutter. The main differences are:

No display: The SmartShunt uses your phone/tablet via the VictronConnect app as its display.Alarms: It does not have programmable visual or audible alarms.Relay: It does not include a programmable relay.It provides most essential monitoring features via the app or a GX device.

Is the SmartShunt 500A/50mV suitable for 12V, 24V, or 48V systems?
