Victron SmartShunt, BMV and GX battery monitors

A battery monitor provides estimated state of charge, current, voltage, consumed energy and remaining runtime for a battery bank. This category includes Victron SmartShunt, BMV, Cerbo GX, GX Touch and MPPT Control products, plus adapters and sensors for campervans, boats, solar power and off-grid systems.

Which type of monitor do you need?

• SmartShunt: measures through a shunt and presents data in a compatible app.
• BMV: combines a shunt with a dedicated display for direct viewing.
• Cerbo GX and GX Touch: centralise and display information from several system devices.
• MPPT controls: show data from a compatible solar controller.

How to choose

Check battery-bank voltage, maximum shunt current, the number of batteries or points to be measured, available communication interfaces and mounting position. Also verify which cables and accessories are included with each reference.

Why battery measurement matters

Voltage alone does not always show available energy accurately. A correctly configured monitor helps identify consumption, detect abnormal behaviour and manage a solar or leisure battery. Accuracy depends on correct installation and configuration.
