SmartShunt 500A IP65 — is an improved version of the popular SmartShunt, designed for use in wet, dusty or marine environments, with full IP65 housing protection. It provides all the functions of the BMV-712, but without a display — control is via Bluetooth Smart, the VictronConnect app, as well as via GX devices.
The optimal option for marine applications (yachts, boats), campers, land-based ESS systems and projects where high reliability, safety and remote energy management are required.
Key benefits of the Victron SmartShunt IP65 battery monitor
- Full IP65 protection – dust and moisture-proof design
- Bluetooth Smart– monitoring via smartphone (iOS/Android)
- VE.Direct port – connection to Cerbo GX, Venus GX, VRM
- Midpoint voltage monitoring – balance control between battery sections
- Relay output – generator or alarm control
- Temperature sensor (optional) – battery charge correction
- Compatibility with LiFePO₄, AGM, GEL batteries
- Integration with marine MFD chartplotters (via Cerbo GX + NMEA 2000)

Integration with marine chartplotters (MFD)
- SmartShunt IP65 easily integrates into marine systems via NMEA2000 using Cerbo GX and GX Touch / VRM:
- Battery data is displayed on the MFD chartplotter screen (Raymarine, Garmin, B&G, Simrad, Lowrance)
- Real-time information – voltage, current, state of charge (SoC), time remaining, etc.
- Connect via NMEA2000 or Ethernet
- Used on professional vessels, catamarans, ocean boats
