#VICTRON SHUNT INSTALLATION UPGRADE#
This is an upgrade I've been wanting to do for a long time so thanks. You’ll be able to monitor: 1 battery bank (up to 300A current and voltage) 1 battery bank (voltage only) 2 Tanks (or 2 temperatures, or 1 tank and 1 temperature) Includes the 'Pico-one' monitor, which cannot be expanded further to what's listed above. Ampere hours consumed are calculated by integrating the current flowing in or out of the battery. The essential function of a battery monitor is to calculate ampere hours consumed and the state of charge of a battery. Auxiliary connection midpoint battery bank monitoring 3.5.3. The BMV-702 is a high precision battery monitor. The SmartShunt does not have programmable relays or alarms. Today we're installing the Victron 500A SmartShunt battery monitor in the canopy setup. Auxiliary connection for monitoring the voltage of a second battery 3.5.2. Notes: The SmartShunt is not weather-resistant and must be installed in a protected environment. After running into problems with the Renogy BT-2 (review here) I decided it was not going to give me the kinds of. With the VE.Direct port built right in, monitoring multiple battery banks is as simple as inserting the shunt inline in the negative path to the battery.

It will also allow the connection of a computer which the Link-Lite will not do. They both will monitor the voltage of a second bank but the Victron is costs less and does more. A Xantrex Link-Lite will cost you 233.99 + 104.99 328.98 A Victron BMV-702 will cost you about 100.00 or so less.

The SmartShunt is currently available in 500A 1000A and 2000A versions are available but are special-order only and are very rarely required if in doubt, please reach out to us to discuss your options! Victron Smart Shunt - Install and Review. The Victron units come complete & ready to install. I am relatively new to campervan setups, and I do not have a background in 12v electrics. Bus panel Victron-Lynx-Ion-Shunt-2-Multi-Victron MultiPlus-II 48V 3000VA. Victron 500A Smart Shunt - setup questions. 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 an optional temperature sensor (compatible with the BMV-702/-712 temperature sensor). Quick Install Sheet Inverter Victron energy MultiPlus 12/3000/120 50 Manual.

The SmartShunt is a good alternative for a BMV battery monitor, especially for systems where battery monitoring is needed but less wiring and clutter is wanted.

#VICTRON SHUNT INSTALLATION BLUETOOTH#
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 to and read by a GX device such as the CCGX, Venus GX, or the Cerbo GX using an optional VE.Direct cable. The SmartShunt is an all-in-one battery monitor much like the BMV-712, but without a dedicated display your compatible phone or tablet acts as the display.
