    Victron Energy's public 2026-Q3 euro price list, archived on September 23, 2026. It is the one manufacturer document that prints each product name beside its article number in visible text, with an "H x W x D" size column in millimetres and a "kg" column, so every ordering code in this manifest is checked against it. It is read for identity and, where noted, for size; no price is recorded from it. Its size figures for the 1000 A and 2000 A SmartShunts differ from the datasheets, which are recorded instead.

overall it is very good. the price is just way high, but if you can afford it you wont regret it. good: huge torroid transformer inside very good at surge current nice efficency extremely quiet and the fan only runs when it needs downsides: only 1outlet input terminals are bare wire clamps that are very close to each other. not that big either. the eco mode pulse the output and is not sensible. if you have a low power load(s) it will turn the things on/off all the time for hours and never stops.

Evidence score

6/100Missing details40% documented

The Evidence score uses the priorities you choose. It counts published documents, such as certificates and warranty terms, and it compares a documented figure with the best documented figure of the same kind. It does not count owner reviews, and it is not a verdict on product quality or on how many people have reviewed it. A low score can mean little is documented, or that a documented figure is below the best of its kind. Undisclosed data scores 0.

Missing details. This number counts only the evidence recorded so far. The source review for this product is not finished, or the maker has not disclosed enough, so the number can only go up.

Missing for this product: Certificate evidence needed; Battery conversion efficiency needed.

Each input is scored against the best documented value for an inverter: warranty term and battery conversion efficiency against every published inverter, idle consumption (lower is better) against the inverters in the same output band, or against every published inverter when the output is not documented. A documented value always earns points; an undisclosed one earns 0 and is listed as missing. Researched products receive a score. Certificates earn points for the evidence itself. Size and weight do not affect scores.
