Victron SmartShunt 500A/50mV IP65

📝 Victron SmartShunt 500A/50mV IP65

The Victron SmartShunt 500A/50mV IP65 is a water-resistant all-in-one battery monitor designed for rugged environments like 4WD engine bays, boats, and off-grid systems exposed to moisture. It replaces traditional display monitors — your smartphone or tablet acts as the screen via Bluetooth and the VictronConnect App. Built for simplicity, durability, and accuracy, the SmartShunt IP65 delivers full battery insights with minimal wiring.

⭐ ESSENTIAL BENEFITS

• Water-resistant IP65 design – ideal for marine, 4WD, and outdoor battery systems.
• Display-free convenience – all readings available directly on your smart device via Bluetooth.
• Full battery monitoring – track state of charge, time to go, voltage, and current in real time.
• VE.Direct connectivity – allows integration with GX devices such as Cerbo GX or Color Control GX.
• Auxiliary input versatility – use for a second battery, midpoint, or temperature sensor.
• Historical logging – records deepest discharges, average usage, and cycle count for better maintenance.
