Unlike the SmartShunt, it comes with a physical screen built in, so you get at-a-glance monitoring at the panel without needing your phone. Built-in Bluetooth pairs it with the free VictronConnect app too, for setup, deeper monitoring, and history on your phone when you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePhysical display (round or square bezel included) plus Bluetooth monitoring via VictronConnect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMonitors voltage, current, power, Ah consumed, charge % and time to go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eProgrammable alarm and a relay output, useful for shedding a load or starting a generator automatically\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAuxiliary input doubles as a second-battery voltage monitor, midpoint balance check, or temperature sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eVery low current draw (around 1mA), so it won't meaningfully drain your battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStores 46 days of voltage, current, state of charge and aux data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eVE.Direct port for connecting to a GX device and Victron's VRM portal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e5 year manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eComes with the 500A\/50mV shunt, a 10m RJ12 cable to connect the shunt to the display, and a 2m fused battery cable, everything you need to install it without buying anything extra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose it over the SmartShunt\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eBoth monitor the same battery data to the same accuracy, the real difference is the display.
