Introducing veKonvert<\/a> by Digital Yacht. <\/strong>A simple and effective solution for integrating battery data into your existing marine electronics. It connects the Victron SmartShunt to an NMEA 2000 network, providing easy access to battery information on your boat’s multi-function displays (MFDs).<\/p>\n

About Digital Yacht<\/h4>\n

Digital Yacht started in 2010 with a vision to simplify life onboard. Their first product, a wireless AIS receiver that transformed the Apple iPad into a fully functional marine chart plotter with AIS overlay, won the prestigious DAME Design Award in the electronics category and laid the foundation for their success.<\/p>\n

AIS has remained a core product line for Digital Yacht, alongside wireless integration with tablets. Over the years, their portfolio have expanded to include navigation sensors, internet connectivity solutions, instrument sensors, monitoring and alert systems, and expertise in integrating boat data into NMEA 2000 networks.<\/p>\n

Today, Digital Yacht exports to over 100 countries and has been honoured with accolades such as the Queen\u2019s Award for Enterprise in 2022. Looking to the future, their focus on AI and cloud connectivity promises to bring even more innovative, user-friendly solutions to simplify life onboard.<\/p>\n

What is veKonvert?<\/h4>\n

\u201cBattery monitoring is a \u201cmust have\u201d for every boat owner, and this sparked the idea for a complete battery monitoring solution,\u201d\u00a0explains Nick Heyes, CEO of Digital Yacht. \u201cA quick market analysis found the Victron SmartShunt, and it was difficult to see how this could be bettered,\u201d he adds. \u201cIt was reliable, accurate, and solved every requirement with voltage, current, state of charge, and historical analysis \u2013 and at an affordable price.\u201d However, there was one gap: a straightforward way to connect the SmartShunt to NMEA 2000 networks and display battery data on an MFD. While the Victron Cerbo offered comprehensive system integration, many boat owners needed a simpler solution, especially for smaller systems where space and simplicity are priorities.<\/p>\n

This is where veKonvert comes in. Designed as a simple, plug-and-play solution, veKonvert connects directly to the SmartShunt and integrates it with the NMEA 2000 network. Once connected, real time battery data such as voltage, current, and state of charge becomes easily accessible on your MFD, providing a practical way to monitor key battery parameters. Alarms and alerts for low battery voltage can also be configured.<\/p>\n
