Assuming that you are not charging the service (house) battery with more than 6,000 watts, which would be very unlikely, then your largest load of 6,000 watts is the determining factor in sizing the shunt. Thanks for your question about sizing the SmartShunt. What size of Victron shunt do I need, 1,000A or 2,000 A? Thanks. I want to monitor the house battery fully and the inverter battery for voltage only. The biggest load is the bow thruster at 6kW (on the services battery)vnext would be the engine starter which is rated at 2.5kW. I have a 12v 240Ah services battery, a 12v 240Ah starter battery and a 12v 140Ah inverter battery if the starter battery fails I can switch to the services battery to start the engines. No programmable visual and audible alarm.The SmartShunt is also VE.SmartNetwork compatible allowing it to wirelessly share information with other compatible Victron devices via a Bluetooth Smart network.ĭifferences compared to BMV712 Battery Monitor The SmartShunt is equipped with Bluetooth, a VE.Direct port and a connection that can be used for: monitoring a second battery, midpoint monitoring or a temperature sensor. The SmartShunt is a good alternative for a Victron BMV series battery monitor, especially for systems where battery monitoring is needed but less wiring and clutter is wanted. Connection to the SmartShunt is made via a VE.Direct cable. The SmartShunt connects via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect App on your phone (or tablet) and you can conveniently read out all monitored battery parameters, like state of charge, time to go, historical information and much more.Īlternatively the SmartShunt can be connected and be read by a GX device. The SmartShunt is an all in one battery monitor, only without a display.
