veKonvert NMEA 2000 Gateway

veKonvert brings NMEA 2000 connectivity to Victron’s popular SmartShunt battery monitoring system. Now a navigation multi-function display becomes a sophisticated battery and energy management system.

Features

veKonvert is a stand-alone NMEA 2000 interface designed in conjunction with Victron Energy to integrate VE.Direct compatible devices such as their SmartShunt, BMV Battery Monitors, and MPPT Solar Charge Controller range into NMEA 2000 systems.

This functionality already existed but required the use of a sophisticated Cerbo module. veKonvert is a lower-cost, simpler solution for smaller installations that just need the electrical data displayed on a multi-function display.

Boaters and boat builders like a clear and uncluttered dash or nav area, so integrating electrical data into the main navigation display is a popular and cost-saving option.

The product is a collaboration between Victron Energy and Digital Yacht. The system utilizes Victron’s proprietary VE.Direct data connectivity as a source for the NMEA 2000 data.

Victron solar charge controllers (MPPTs) and battery monitors can now also interconnect to your NMEA 2000 MFD via the veKonvert interface.

Installation

Installation is simple – just "T" into the NMEA 2000 backbone and plug into the VE.Direct custom connector on the SmartShunt, and you've got battery and electrical data on your NMEA 2000 network!  Note that one veKonvert is required for each battery bank.

Specifications:

  • Universal NMEA 2000 gateway for Victron products with a VE.Direct interface
  • Enables battery management or solar charge monitoring on compatible multi-function displays (Raymarine, Garmin, Navico, Furuno, etc)
  • Provides battery voltage, charge/discharge current, state of charge, and time to depletion based on a sophisticated algorithm
  • Easy installation, plug ‘n’ play connectivity, and self-powering from the NMEA 2000 bus
  • Generates NMEA 2000 alerts from any BMV or SmartShunt Alarms
  • Supports multiple SmartShunts for a larger multi-battery system

VeKonvert Is Compatible with the Following Victron Products:

BMV-700, BMV-702, BMV-700H, BMV-712 Smart, BMV-710H Smart, BMV-712 Smart, SmartShunt 500A/50mV, SmartShunt 1000A/50mV, SmartShunt 2000A/50mV, and All MPPT Charge Controllers

The veKonvert will automatically detect what Victron device it is connected to and adjust the NMEA 2000 data that it outputs accordingly. Below is a list of the PGNs that the veKonvert outputs for the different Victron Devices and different modes that they can operate in:  

All MPPTs

      • PGN 127506 DC Detailed Status (DC Type set to MPPT)
      • PGN 127508 Battery Status (MPPT Output Voltage and Current)
      • PGN 130900 Proprietary Solar Controller (All solar panel data)

All SmartShunts and BMVs

  • PGN 127506 DC Detailed Status (DC Type set to Battery, SOC and A/h consumed)
  • PGN 127508 Battery Status (Output Voltage and Current)

NOTE: veKonvert is not compatible with Victron Chargers and Inverters. It should also not be plugged into the VE.Direct interfaces of any Victron "Consumers" such as Multiplus, Quattro, Cerbo, etc.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

When will my order ship?

For in-stock items, orders placed by 4:00 PM EST are eligible to ship the same day. If any item in the order is not currently in stock, shipment timing will depend on availability.

What is your return window?

Eligible merchandise may be returned within 30 days from the date of receipt. All returns require a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number before anything is sent back. For the smoothest experience, we ask customers to contact Salina Vita first so we can coordinate the request properly. Returned merchandise must be complete, in its original packaging, and in resalable condition. Items that arrive incomplete, improperly packed, or not suitable for resale may not qualify for return approval.

Are restocking fees possible?

Yes. Approved returns may be subject to a restocking fee of up to 15%. Non-stock items may not be returned. In addition, opened or unsealed DVDs, CDs, and cartography products are non-returnable unless defective. If the product falls into CWR’s excluded media categories—such as opened or unsealed cartography, DVDs, or CDs—it is not returnable unless defective.

If my unit needs warranty service, should I send it back to Salina Vita?

No. Units requiring service, whether under warranty or otherwise, should be returned directly to the appropriate manufacturer, not to Salina Vita. We are always happy to help guide you to the correct manufacturer support path. Absolutely. While the service destination is the manufacturer, we can help you identify the proper support channel and make the process feel more straightforward and well-managed. Units that require service themselves, however, should go directly to the manufacturer under CWR’s policy.

I still have more Questions, can we contact you?

At Salina Vita, we believe premium marine commerce should feel measured, transparent, and reassuring. If you have a question about a shipment, return eligibility, or manufacturer service, contact us before taking the next step and we will guide you with the discretion and clarity your vessel deserves.
