7  ALL FEATURES AND SETTINGS 

 

7.1  Battery settings 

These settings can be used to fine-tune the SmartShunt. Please be careful when you change these settings as a 

change will have an effect on the SmartShunt state of charge calculations. 

 
7.1.1 

Battery capacity 

This parameter is used to tell the SmartShunt how big the battery is. This setting should already have been done 

during the initially installation of the SmartShunt. 

The setting is the battery capacity in Amp hours (Ah). For more information see chapter 8: “Battery capacity and 

Peukert exponent”

 

Default setting 

Range 

Step size 

200Ah 

1 – 9999Ah 

1Ah 

 
7.1.2 

Charged voltage 

The battery voltage must be above this voltage level to consider the battery as fully charged. As soon as the 

SmartShunt detects that the voltage of the battery has reached the “charged voltage” and the current has 

dropped below the “tail current” for a certain amount of time, the SmartShunt will set the state of charge to 100%.  

 

Default setting 

Range 

Step size 

0V 

0 - 95V 

0.1V 

 

The “charged voltage” parameter should be set to 0.2V or 0.3V below the float voltage of the charger. Or 

alternatively, see the table below for the recommended setting. 
Recommended settings for lead acid batteries: 

Nominal battery voltage 

charged voltage setting 

12V 

13.2V 

24V 

26.4V 

36V 

39.6V 

48V 

52.8V 

 

 
7.1.3 

Discharge floor 

The “Discharge floor” parameter is used in the time remaining calculation. The time remaining is the time it takes 

until the set “Discharge floor” has been reached. 

 

Default setting

Step size 

50% 

0 - 99% 

1% 

 
7.1.4 

Tail current 

The battery is considered as “fully charged” once the charge current has dropped to less than the set “Tail 

current” parameter. The “Tail current” parameter is expressed as a percentage of the battery capacity. 

Remark: Some battery chargers stop charging when the current drops below a set threshold. In these cases, the 

tail current must be set higher than this threshold. 

As soon as the SmartShunt detects that the voltage of the battery has reached the set “Charged voltage” 

parameter and the current has dropped below the “Tail current” for a certain amount of time, the SmartShunt will 

set the state of charge to 100%.
