SmartShunt 1000A

The Victron Energy SmartShunt 1000A is an all-in-one battery monitor designed to precisely track your battery's status. It has no built-in display, instead using your smartphone or tablet as a screen via the VictronConnect app and a Bluetooth connection.

The main difference is that the SmartShunt has no dedicated display or programmable relay, unlike the BMV-712. It relies entirely on Bluetooth connectivity and the VictronConnect app for data display and configuration, providing a more discreet solution with less wiring.

You can view all battery monitoring data by connecting the SmartShunt to the VictronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. The app displays state of charge, remaining autonomy, history, and many other parameters.

The SmartShunt 1000A can monitor several key battery parameters, including:

State of charge (SOC)Remaining autonomy (time before discharge)Battery voltageCharge/discharge currentHistorical dataIt can also monitor the voltage of a second battery, the midpoint of a battery bank, or temperature if an optional sensor is connected.

No, the SmartShunt 1000A does not have a built-in display. It is designed as a "displayless" battery monitor, using your smartphone or tablet as the display interface via the VictronConnect app.

The SmartShunt 1000A operates on an input voltage range of 6.5 to 70 VDC.

The SmartShunt 1000A can handle battery capacities ranging from 1 Ah to 9999 Ah.

Yes, the SmartShunt 1000A can measure battery temperature, but this requires connecting an optional external temperature sensor (reference ASS000100000).

The SmartShunt 1000A dimensions are 68 mm (height) x 168 mm (width) x 75 mm (depth).

The SmartShunt 1000A provides a resolution of ±0.01 A for current and ±0.01 V for voltage. Its measurement accuracy is ±0.4 % for current and ±0.3 % for voltage.

No, the SmartShunt 1000A does not have built-in programmable visual or audible alarms. Alarm notifications are managed via the VictronConnect app on your mobile device or a connected GX device.

The SmartShunt stores trends for the following data over 46 days:

Battery voltageCurrentState of charge (%)Auxiliary input data (battery temperature, mid-point deviation, or starter battery voltage)

Yes, the SmartShunt 1000A is compatible with Victron GX devices. It can be connected to a GX device via a VE.Direct cable for full integration into a larger system and data access via the VRM portal.

The SmartShunt primarily connects to the VictronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. It can also participate in the VE.Smart network to share information with other Bluetooth-compatible Victron products.

Yes, the SmartShunt 1000A is compatible with a wide range of battery types, including lead-acid batteries (gel, AGM, flooded) and lithium batteries (LiFePO4). Specific settings for lithium batteries can be configured via the VictronConnect app.

Yes, the SmartShunt 1000A features an auxiliary connection that can be used to monitor the voltage of a second battery, such as a starter battery.

Yes, the auxiliary connection of the SmartShunt 1000A can be configured to monitor the midpoint of a battery bank, which is useful for detecting imbalance in batteries connected in series.

The SmartShunt unit itself

Two 1 A fuse-protected power cables for the positive connection and auxiliary connection (to the starter battery or mid-point)

The SmartShunt 1000A connects to the battery system by inserting the shunt between the battery’s negative terminal and all DC loads/chargers. The battery’s negative terminal connects to the SmartShunt’s "BATTERY MINUS" terminal, and the DC system’s negative terminal connects to the "SYSTEM MINUS" terminal. A power cable is also connected between the battery’s positive terminal and the SmartShunt’s "Vbatt+" terminal.

If the Bluetooth signal range is insufficient (for example, due to nearby conductive elements such as a metal chassis or seawater), you can add a VE.Direct Bluetooth dongle (reference ASS030536011) to the system. You will then need to disable the SmartShunt's built-in Bluetooth function.
