Review: Victron will give you the best bang for your buck! - This is a much better battery monitor than another one I tried that (even with having to purchase the temp sensor separately) in the end cost about the same for the same ampacity. I had nothing but problems with the old one with a name starting with R and decided to return it. The Victron app has far more info and options than the other one [and] unlike the other one, you [do not] need an online account of which you have to be logged on to use the app to connect to the battery monitor (or other devices) that you purchased and own! Yes, that's right, full access via Bluetooth with an app you don't need an account for. If you want an account, it's available but not necessary. I have had it connected (connection was easy and straight forward, especially in a tight area) and in use for several months now and really appreciate being able to track state of charge, battery temperature, currant usage, level of solar or shore power charger input of which all can be displayed graphically with the app. If you have other Victron components like a solar charge controller, they can connect wireless to each other to share necessary data. The SmartShunt is worth the money to give you peace of mind and removing guess work about how much charge you have left and if your charging systems are working properly. It is solid and reliable, I have not had any problems with it! I highly recommend it to anyone who fully utilizes their battery systems for offgrid or boondocking trips.
Review: A Must-Have Upgrade When Switching to Lithium Batteries - When we upgraded our RV battery system to lithium, I quickly realized that guessing battery status just wasn’t going to cut it anymore. That’s where the Victron SmartShunt completely changed the game. Installation was straightforward, and once it was in place, I paired it with the Victron app and instantly had access to detailed, real-time battery information. Being able to see state of charge, voltage, current draw, and usage history right on my phone gives me total confidence in how our system is performing. No more wondering how much power we really have left or how hard the batteries are being worked. The Bluetooth connection has been rock solid, the IP65 rating adds peace of mind, and the app layout is clean and easy to understand. For anyone upgrading their RV to lithium batteries, this is not just a nice accessory—it’s essential. I honestly wouldn’t run a lithium setup without it. Highly recommended, 5 stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are there any voltage restrictions? I want to use this in a 36v golf cart.**
A: Yes.  The shunt voltage range is 6.5 to 70V.  The required battery charge voltage is set during setup.  For example set the charge voltage to 39.6V for 36V lead acid battery   Note different voltages for lithium!

The manual is available for download from the website.

**Q: battery negative cable is two short to connect terminal lug, can I use nut bolt to extend it ? or is there another device I can use to extend negative**
A: I am not sure what you are asking. There are three cables that come out of the SmartShunt; one is the Auxiliary, one is the Battery Positive, and one is the VE.Direct. The positive wire and the auxiliary wire can each be extended if you properly crimp another wire in place.

**Q: So even with "load -" and "battery -" terminals in the open, this is still ip65? it's ok if they are exposed? can i mount on trailer tongue?**
A: IP65 means you won't get water and dust inside the unit. It doesn't mean the exposed terminals can't be wrecked in extreme conditions.

**Q: I use two 12v batteries wired in parallel for extended battery life. Will this monitor both batteries or "see" them as one?**
A: The SmartShunt only has the capability to monitor one battery bank. It cannot tell how many batteries are connected to it.
