The remaining battery capacity depends on the ampere-hours consumed, discharge current, temperature and the age of the battery. Complex software algorithms are needed to take all these variables into account.
The SmartShunt is an all in one battery monitor, only without a display. Your phone acts as the display.
The SmartShunt connects via Bluetooth to the VictronConnectApp 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.
Alternatively, the SmartShunt can be connected and be read by a GX device. Connection to the SmartShunt is made via a VE.Direct cable.
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.
The SmartShunt is equipped with Bluetooth, a VE.Direct port and a connection that can be used to monitor a second battery, for midpoint monitoring, or to connect a temperature sensor.
This Smartshunt is an inproved version of the popular Smartshunt SHU050220050. The new version has better enclosure ( IP65), so it is better suited in engine compartents and other harsh environments.
All electrical connections are to the quick connect PCB on the current shunt.
