The Victron SmartShunt 1000A/50mV IP65 is a shunt-based battery monitor with a current rating of 1,000 A. It reports over Bluetooth, since the unit has no display. Current is measured with 0.4% accuracy, 0.1 A resolution and a 20 mA offset. The enclosure is rated IP65 and weighs 1.22 kg.
Our take
An IP65 enclosure and a 1,000 A rating come with a 20 mA current offset and a 0.1 A current resolution. The case weighs 1.22 kg and has no display, so readings come over Bluetooth rather than from the unit itself.
From our buying guide
An amp-hour figure needs its rate, since BCI says rated capacity is specified at a particular discharge rate, temperature and cutoff voltage.
Check before you buy:
- A voltage reading means little until the battery has rested, and each maker sets its own rest and table.
- Ignition protection on a charger or switch is the maker's statement, so read what it says and which standard it names.
