The smart SmartShunt 500A from Victron Energy is a multifunctional battery motor that allows you to view all information via your mobile phone or the VictronConnect app. This gives you easy access to all monitored battery parameters. This includes, among others, the Charge level, remaining running time, history data and much more data. It is also possible to connect the SmartShunt to a GX device, such as a Cerbo-GX or the Color Control GX, and read information from it. The connection is made via a VE.Direct cable. The Waterproof Battery Monitor is also an excellent option for BMV battery monitoring, particularly in systems where battery monitoring is required but less wiring and clutter is desired.

Why battery monitoring?
Batteries are used in a variety of applications, mostly to store energy for future use. However, the actual amount of energy stored cannot be read directly from the battery. Factors such as undercharging or overcharging, deep discharge, excessive charging or discharging currents and high ambient temperatures can shorten the life of the battery. An advanced battery monitor enables monitoring of this and provides important feedback to you as the user. This means that appropriate measures can be taken if necessary to profitably extend the running time. The investment in the battery monitor therefore pays for itself quickly.
