The Victron SmartShunt 1000A IP65 combines high-current capacity with a sealed enclosure — sized for 24V and 48V systems with big inverters, in a dust-tight enclosure rated against water spray. Same Victron measurement firmware as the smaller SmartShunts; same 1000A capacity as the standard IP21 version; sealed for marine engine rooms, outdoor solar combiner boxes, and any install where standard electronics can't safely live.
No display — your phone is the screen via Bluetooth and the free VictronConnect app. View real-time state-of-charge, voltage, current, power, time-remaining, and 30 days of historical trend data.
IP65 vs standard SmartShunt 1000A — which one?
| IP65 (this model) | Standard IP21 | |
|---|---|---|
| SKU | SHU065210050 | SHU050210050 |
| Enclosure rating | IP65 (dust-tight, water spray) | IP21 (indoor / dry mounting) |
| Marine engine room | Yes — recommended | Not recommended |
| Outdoor / unsealed install | Yes | No |
| Indoor / cabin mounting | Works fine but overkill | Recommended |
| Current capacity | ±1000A | ±1000A |
| Measurement accuracy | ±0.4% | ±0.4% |
| Price | $165.75 | $165.75 |
For the 1000A model, Victron prices IP65 and IP21 the same. If you have any doubt about the install environment, choose IP65 — there's no cost penalty.
When to choose the 1000A IP65
- Marine 24V or 48V systems — engine room mounting where humidity, salt, and occasional water exposure are unavoidable
- Outdoor ground-mount solar — combiner boxes that aren't always fully sealed; the shunt itself is weather-rated
- Off-grid cabin pump houses — well pumps, irrigation, exterior generator/inverter rooms
- Commercial mobile platforms — surveillance trailers, food trucks with exterior battery compartments
- Industrial / telecom outdoor cabinets — sealed against environmental dust and spray
Why the SmartShunt 1000A IP65
- IP65 sealed enclosure — dust-tight and rated against low-pressure water spray from any direction.
- 2× the current capacity of the 500A — sized for larger 24V/48V systems.
- Same accuracy as the standard 1000A — same Victron precision shunt and same firmware, just sealed.
- Bluetooth built-in — pair directly with VictronConnect on iPhone or Android.
- True state-of-charge — counts every amp in and out for fuel-gauge accuracy on lithium, AGM, and lead-acid banks.
- VE.Direct port for Cerbo GX — plug into a Cerbo GX for full system integration and VRM Portal remote monitoring.
- VE.Smart Networking — shares battery data wirelessly with other Victron devices to coordinate charging.
- Programmable auxiliary input — temperature, midpoint voltage, or second battery monitoring.
