Victron SmartShunt battery monitoring for your boat
Check your house battery bank through VictronConnect with a SmartShunt monitor. PLC Marine helps you select the current rating, IP protection and accessories for your installation in Mexico; battery capacity in Ah alone does not determine the correct shunt.
One function: second-battery voltage, midpoint or temperature
Temperature sensor
Optional; ordered separately
Dimensions follow the official data sheet for each version. A measures current; Ah measures battery capacity. Confirm expected maximum current, terminals and mounting conditions before selecting a model.

What you can monitor
SmartShunt measures voltage and current to calculate state of charge and estimated time remaining. It has no dedicated display: local readings are available through VictronConnect. This helps relate equipment consumption to how the house battery bank is used.
IP21 or IP65: choose the correct version
Both ranges offer the same four current ratings but different protection classes. Tell us whether the mounting position is in a protected compartment or exposed to moisture. Selection must account for the actual location, connections and maintenance access.
Plan the complete monitoring setup
For the bank's consumption to be measured correctly, loads and charge sources must connect on the appropriate side of the shunt as described in the manual. For internet monitoring, include a GX device, the VE.Direct connection and internet access in your inquiry. Built-in Bluetooth provides local connection; it does not replace that remote infrastructure.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 500 A model intended for a 500 Ah battery?
No. The shunt's ampere rating describes current; ampere-hours describe bank capacity. Share expected charging and discharging currents, connected equipment and battery capacity so the selection can be reviewed.
Do I need a Bluetooth accessory?
SmartShunt already includes Bluetooth. A temperature sensor and GX connection equipment are separate accessories. Check reception at the mounting location, especially inside metal structures.
Can it monitor two complete battery banks at once?
The auxiliary input can measure a second battery's voltage, or midpoint voltage, or temperature with an optional sensor. It does not independently provide current and state of charge for a second bank.
Can I use it without configuration?
The monitor needs settings for the particular bank and synchronization. Share battery chemistry, capacity and charging equipment; the manual explains state-of-charge configuration and connections.
