Hi all,
I searched on this topic and did not find much, so I wanted to ask about the Victron Smartshunt and the groups experience with it. I am tempted to get one and put it in line with my Magnum one (@Chuggs said this could be done - hopefully he is around to again share his knowledge).
I have read that folks are unhappy with the Bluetooth range of the device…being in the battery department probably doesn’t help. I was also wondering if plugging it VE.direct port would allow for better use of the data (it seems to) or if the data would be able to be seen in the MPPT controller screen.
Anyway, as I start the process of restructuring my battery compartment for my new Battleborns, I figured this would be a good time to do this…if you guys feel it is worth the $130. I also have a Victron MPPT controller and Victron Smart Battery sensor.
So anyone have any experience with this model?
Thanks.
