Why the Victron Smart Shunt is Landon’s Favourite Battery Monitor

Victron Smart Shunt Review

Landon here. When you’re living off-grid like we do in our bus, knowing how much battery you’ve got left changes the way you plan your day. If our battery is sitting pretty, it’s time for a big breakfast with all the trimmings. But if we’re running low, oats might be the smarter move to conserve power. That’s where a good battery monitor becomes essential—and for me, the Victron Smart Shunt is the one I trust most.

Why Do You Need a Battery Monitor?

A battery monitor is like the brain of your power system, measuring all the energy flowing in and out of your batteries and giving you a precise idea of the remaining capacity. Having real-time battery insights means you can make smarter decisions about energy use, whether you’re running a fridge, charging devices, or making coffee on the road.

To learn more about keeping your power system running smoothly, check out our off-grid power solutions.

What I Look for in Products at Zero Grid

Whenever I add new products to the Zero Grid store, I make sure they meet a few key criteria:

1. Quality – Built tough to handle Australia’s harsh conditions.

2. Support – Reliable after-sales support, not just from us but also from the manufacturers we partner with.

3. User-Friendliness – Easy to set up and simple to use, whether you’re a beginner or a pro.

The Victron Smart Shunts hit the mark on all these fronts.

What Makes the Victron Smart Shunt a Game-Changer?

The Victron Smart Shunt is ideal for small setups—whether it’s a van, canopy, or tiny home. No need for a bulky screen—everything you need to know is displayed in the VictronConnect app on your phone or tablet. This app is intuitive and easy to use, showing you all the critical data at a glance, from voltage to power consumption.

Check Out the New 300A Smart Shunt

Victron has recently released a 300A version of their Smart Shunt. This is fantastic news for smaller setups—like the ones I build for vans, motorhomes, and tiny houses—which often don’t need the heavy-duty 500A, 1000A, or 2000A versions. If you’re looking to keep things simple without sacrificing quality, the 300A Smart Shunt is the way to go.
