The Victron SmartShunt 2000A is a shunt-based battery monitor with a current rating of 2,000 A. It runs from a supply of 6.5 to 70 VDC and reports over Bluetooth, since the unit has no display. Current is measured with 0.4% accuracy, 0.01 A resolution and a 40 mA offset. The enclosure carries an IP21 rating.
Our take
The 2,000 A rating sits alongside a 0.01 A current resolution and a 40 mA offset, so one unit covers very heavy current while still reading small draws. With an IP21 enclosure and no display, readings come over Bluetooth rather than from the case.
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.
