The Victron SmartShunt is a powerful battery monitor with Bluetooth on board. It can be installed out of sight, behind the scenes – whilst live data from the device is relayed to your mobile phone or tablet via the VictronConnect App for Android or iOS or on your Mac and PC. The SmartShunt is a great alternative for a BMV battery monitor where a separate display isn’t required.
Available in the below models:
IP21 rated: 300A, 500A, 1000A, 2000A
IP65 rated: 300A (Coming soon), 500A, 1000A, 2000A
Monitored Battery Parameters include:
- Battery State-of-Charge (SoC)
- Voltage of up to 2 batteries
- Current Load
- Time to go
- Extensive historical information
- … and much more
Auxilary Input Options:
The SmartShunt can do more than comprehensively monitor your main battery bank – additionally you can choose to either:
- Monitor the voltage of a second battery, for exmaple the starter battery or;
- Connect a temperature sensor (optional accessory) for temperature compensated charging or;
- Monitor the midpoint voltage of your battery bank (cable included) to keep an eye on battery health.
Connection to any Victron GX Device
The SmartShunt also features a VE.Direct port so can also be connected to any device in the GX range including the Colour Controller and Cerbo GX via a VE.Direct cable.
Differences compared to BMV-712 Battery Monitor
- No programmable visual and audible alarm
- No programmable relay.

| STANDARDS | |
| Safety | EN 60335-1 |
| Emission / Immunity | EN-IEC 61000-6-1 EN-IEC 61000-6-2Â EN-IEC 61000-6-3 |
| Automotive | EN 50498 |
| Cables (attached) | Two 1.5 m cables with 1 A fuse, for ‘+’ connection and starter battery or midpoint connectionAnd a 1.5 m cable with a VE.Direct socket. Note that a (not included) VE.Direct cable is needed to connect a GX device. |
| Temperature sensor | Optional (ASS000100000) |
| A note regarding the range of the Bluetooth signal | The shunt and the electric cables do negatively influence the range of the Bluetooth signal. The resulting range of 10-15 meter is however satisfactory in most cases.
The proximity of other electrically conducting elements, such as the metal chassis of a vehicle or seawater around the hull if a boat, may reduce the range of the Bluetooth signal to an unacceptable level. The solution in such a case is to add a VE.Direct Bluetooth Dongle (ASS030536011) to the system, and to switch off Bluetooth in the SmartShunt. |
