Victron SmartShunt 500A 50mV Bluetooth Battery Monitor

Product description

The Victron SmartShunt 500A 50mV Bluetooth Battery Monitor is an “all-in-one” meter without a display that turns your mobile phone or tablet into the display. Through the VictronConnect app, you can view voltage, current, Ah consumed, state of charge (SOC), and remaining time, as well as configure parameters and consult history. It integrates a 500 A / 50 mV shunt and a VE.Direct port to connect it to the Victron GX ecosystem (Cerbo GX, Venus GX, or Color Control GX), allowing local and remote monitoring (VRM). With IP21 rating for protected indoor use, it is the compact alternative to BMV when a display or front wiring is not desired.

Main features

• 500 A / 50 mV shunt with M10 terminals and integrated electronics in a single body.
• Bluetooth connectivity for reading and configuration via the VictronConnect app (Android/iOS).
• VE.Direct port compatible with GX devices for extended logging and access to VRM.
• Configurable auxiliary input: second battery (voltage), battery temperature, or battery bank midpoint.
• Electrical range of 6.5–70 V DC; suitable for lead-acid (AGM/GEL) and LiFePO₄ banks.
• Trend history of up to 46 days (V, I, SOC, and the parameter selected on the auxiliary input).
• Ultra-low self-consumption (< 1 mA) to avoid draining the battery at rest.

Advantages or benefits

• Clean and quick installation: no display or front wiring; the phone acts as the screen.
• Reliable measurement: accuracy ±0.4% in current and ±0.3% in voltage with fine resolution (A, V, Ah, SOC).
• Space saving: compact format that simplifies electrical panels in campers, boats, or technical rooms.
• Advanced management: when integrated with a GX device, you get alarms, detailed logs, and remote monitoring in VRM.
• True versatility: the auxiliary input allows monitoring of the starter battery, temperature, or the midpoint of the bank.
• Preventive maintenance: history logs help detect parasitic loads and imbalances between batteries.

Purpose or applications

The Victron SmartShunt 500A 50mV Bluetooth is designed for self-consumption and off-grid photovoltaic systems with battery, recreational or professional boats, motorhomes and special vehicles, telecom, and small industrial installations. It is ideal when the monitor will be installed in a protected compartment and you want to manage the system from a smartphone or a centralized GX device.

Technical specifications

Compatibilities

Integrates with the VictronConnect app via Bluetooth for reading and adjustments; with the Victron GX ecosystem via VE.Direct (Cerbo GX, Venus GX, Color Control GX). Compatible with straight or angled VE.Direct cables in lengths of 0.3–10 m, ASS000100000 temperature sensor, and VE.Direct Bluetooth Dongle as an extender if the environment attenuates the signal.

Contents and accessories

• Includes: two positive cables with 1 A fuse (power supply and auxiliary input).
• Optional: temperature sensor, VE.Direct cables (0.3–10 m, straight or 90°), and VE.Direct Bluetooth Dongle.

Installation notes

• Install the shunt on the common negative of the battery bank; all loads and sources must pass through it.
• Typical Bluetooth range is 10–15 m; metal structures may reduce it. Use a VE.Direct Bluetooth Dongle if greater coverage is needed.
• Size conductors, fuses, and busbars for the 500 A direct current supported by the shunt.
• The IP21 rating is for protected indoor use; for environments with splashes or outdoor exposure, choose the SmartShunt IP65.

The Victron SmartShunt 500A 50mV Bluetooth Battery Monitor offers professional control, clean installation, and full compatibility with the Victron ecosystem, ensuring precise measurements and efficient battery bank management.
