The Victron SmartShunt Battery Monitor is a powerful tool that helps you keep track of your camper’s battery health and performance. Below, we’ll walk you through where to find it, what it does, and how to use it. 


Where to Find the Victron SmartShunt 

The location of the SmartShunt can vary depending on your camper model and year. For example, in the 2025 TAB 320, you’ll find the SmartShunt beneath the passenger-side dinette. 


To identify it, look for: 

  • Two large brass terminals 
  • Multiple wires are connected to the system side 
  • A single wire running to the battery 


Accessing Battery Info with the VictronConnect App 

The SmartShunt doesn’t have a built-in display, but that’s where the VictronConnect app comes in. You can download this app for free on iOS and Android devices. 


With the app, you can monitor key details about your battery, including: 

  • State of charge (SOC) → The estimated percentage of remaining battery power 
  • Battery voltage → The current voltage level of your battery 
  • Amperage flow → How many amps are flowing into or out of the battery 


Why It Matters 


Keeping an eye on your battery’s status is essential when camping off-grid. Knowing whether you’re charging (gaining energy) or discharging (using energy) helps you: 

  • Plan power usage more efficiently. 
  • Avoid draining your battery unexpectedly. 
  • Extend the life of your battery system. 


Summary 


The Victron SmartShunt is a simple but powerful tool that, combined with the VictronConnect app, gives you real-time insight into your camper’s electrical system. Make sure to check the app regularly so you can manage your power wisely and enjoy worry-free camping. Contact tech@nucamprv.com with any questions. Happy Camping!
