Victron SmartShunt 500A Bluetooth Battery Monitor

Victron SmartShunt 500A Bluetooth Battery Monitor

The default battery monitor for van, overland, and off-grid builds. The SmartShunt 500A gives you the exact same data as a BMV-712 — true state of charge, time-to-go, consumed amp-hours, and full history — but skips the display head and reads it all through the VictronConnect app over Bluetooth. The 500A rating comfortably covers 3000W inverter systems, making this the right pick for the vast majority of builds.

Key Features

• 500A / 50mV precision shunt — all-in-one battery monitor, no display head
• Built-in Bluetooth — read everything from the VictronConnect app on your phone
• Tracks state of charge, time-to-go, voltage, current, consumed Ah + full history
• VE.Direct port for Cerbo GX / GX-device integration and remote monitoring
• Auxiliary input: monitor a second (starter) battery, midpoint voltage, or temperature

Ideal For

• The standard choice for van / RV / overland 12V systems
• Systems with up to a 3000W inverter
• Anyone who wants BMV-712 accuracy without a panel cutout for a display

Pairs Well With

• Victron BMV-712 (same data, with a dedicated display head)
• Victron Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC Charger
• Lithium Battery Banks
• More Battery Monitors
