In this video, we review and install the Victron SmartShunt 500A.
The Victron SmartShunt can accurately track your batteries' State of Charge (SOC). It can also tell you how much capacity in terms of Amp-Hours are remaining in the battery based on the current load. Whether you are off-grid, in a van, camping, or sitting at home, the Victron SmartShunt makes it easy to monitor your battery status.
The Shunt also tracks your systems performance. You can see how much power is going in and out of your battery. It also tracks the total discharge and charge in terms of Amp-Hours as well as the lowest and highest battery voltage.
