Waterproof and dust-proof, Victron’s new IP 65 is an even cleverer Smart Battery Shunt

Victron’s new SmartShunt IP65 is a new, improved, all-in-one battery monitor that is completely waterproof and dust-proof and comes complete with integral resin-bonded cables moulded into the unit.

Like its predecessor, the IP21, the new SmartShunt IP65 saves on unnecessary wiring and reduces clutter by connecting wirelessly to a phone or tablet without the need for a bulky display panel. Instead, owners and skippers use their phones and tablets to connect to the SmartShunt through the handy VictronConnect app, giving them instant access to all their all monitored battery parameters (such as state of charge, time to go, historical information and much more) wherever they are.

Completely protected from water from any direction, the new SmartShunt IP65 can be used in engine rooms, or even outdoors, without the need for further waterproofing.

The IP65 integral cables include 1m-long resin-bonded connection cables, an auxiliary cable for monitoring a second battery and a VE Cable (for connection to a GX device for midpoint monitoring, to monitor a second battery or to connect a temperature sensor). The new model also features brighter LED monitoring lights and, like the IP21, is available in 500A, 1000A and 2000A models.

A good alternative for a BMV battery monitor, especially for systems where battery monitoring is needed but less wiring and clutter is wanted, the new SmartShunt IP65

is available now through Lusty and Blundell’s Albany, Whangarei and Tauranga showrooms and from their nationwide network of leading marine dealers.
