Victron SmartShunt 1000A 50mV IP65 Bluetooth Battery Monitor

Product description

The Victron SmartShunt 1000A 50mV IP65 Bluetooth Battery Monitor is an all-in-one measurement system without a display that transforms your mobile or tablet into the display via the VictronConnect app. It incorporates a 1000 A / 50 mV shunt and electronics in a single compact body with IP65 protection, ideal for demanding environments (marine, caravans, off-grid, and industry). It accurately calculates state of charge (SOC), time remaining, current, voltage, and Ah, records history, and integrates via VE.Direct with the Victron GX ecosystem (Cerbo GX, Venus GX, Color Control GX) for local or remote monitoring on the VRM portal. It is the minimalist alternative to the BMV-712 when a display or local relay is not desired, but maximum current capacity and reliability are required.

Main features

• High-capacity shunt 1000 A / 50 mV with M10 terminals for large-section cables or busbars.
• Bluetooth connectivity for configuration, reading, and updates via VictronConnect.
• VE.Direct port for integration with GX devices and remote VRM access.
• Configurable auxiliary input: second battery (voltage), battery temperature, or midpoint.
• Operating range 6.5–70 V DC, suitable for lead-acid (AGM/GEL) and LiFePO₄ banks.
• History of up to 46 days with trends for V, I, SOC, and the auxiliary input parameter.
• Ultra-low self-consumption (< 1 mA) to avoid draining the bank at rest.
• Sealed IP65 enclosure resistant to dust and splashes.

Advantages or benefits

• Clean and simple panel: no display or front wiring; all control from your mobile device.
• Professional measurement: current accuracy ±0.4% and voltage accuracy ±0.3% with fine resolution.
• Maximum direct current: designed for powerful systems with large inverters/chargers.
• Advanced management: with a GX device you get alarms, extended logging, and remote VRM monitoring.
• Versatility: the auxiliary input allows monitoring of starter battery, temperature, or midpoint.
• Preventive maintenance: the history helps detect parasitic loads or imbalances between batteries.

Purpose or applications

The SmartShunt 1000A IP65 is the right choice for high-capacity battery banks in boats, motorhomes, off-grid or self-consumption photovoltaic systems with large inverters, telecom, and industrial uses. Its compact and sealed design allows installation close to the battery bank, even in compartments exposed to dust or splashes, while maintaining readings on the smartphone or a centralized GX monitor.

Technical specifications

Compatibilities

Compatible with the VictronConnect app (Android/iOS) via Bluetooth, with the Victron GX ecosystem via VE.Direct, with straight or angled VE.Direct cables (0.3–10 m), with temperature sensor ASS000100000, and with VE.Direct Bluetooth Dongle as an extender/repeater if necessary.

Contents and accessories

• Includes: 2 cables of 1.5 m with 1 A fuse (positive and auxiliary) and 1.5 m VE.Direct cable.
• Optional: temperature sensor, VE.Direct cables 0.3–10 m (straight/90°), VE.Direct Bluetooth Dongle.

Installation notes

• Install the shunt on the common negative of the bank, with all loads and sources 'downstream'.
• For 1000 A, use suitable cables or busbars, M10 terminals, and low-resistance connections (clean and tight).
• Typical Bluetooth range 10–15 m; metal structures may reduce it.
• Do not exceed 1000 A continuous; for higher currents, consider the 2000 A version.
