Overview
The Victron SmartShunt 500A IP65 is a professional-grade intelligent battery monitor that gives you total visibility over your 12V or 24V battery system — all from your smartphone via the free VictronConnect app over Bluetooth. Delivering 99.6% measurement accuracy, it tracks state of charge, voltage, current (up to 500A), amp hours consumed, time remaining, number of charge cycles, and deepest discharge in real time. The IP65-rated enclosure provides full water and dust resistance, making it one of the toughest battery monitors available for demanding environments. With a built-in VE.Direct port, it integrates seamlessly into a broader Victron system for remote monitoring via the VRM portal — no display screen required, keeping installations clean and clutter-free.
Designed for Australian caravanners, campers, and 4WD enthusiasts who depend on reliable battery management off-grid, the Victron SmartShunt 500A IP65 is ideal for monitoring lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, and flooded lead-acid battery banks in caravans, motorhomes, campervans, and RV setups. Whether you're running a solar-charged lithium bank on a long-haul outback trip, managing twin battery systems in a 4WD, or keeping tabs on your caravan's house battery over the weekend, the SmartShunt delivers the confidence of knowing exactly how much power you have left. The optional AUX input lets you monitor a second battery (starter battery voltage or battery bank balance), and VE.Smart Networking wirelessly shares battery data with connected Victron chargers to extend battery life and optimise charging efficiency on the road.
