I don't plan on building a van up. However, I did just buy a Unimog with 10-12 years old habitat. I am sure it will ne a "refresh" ( overhaul) as its coming from UK to USA. However, even before purchase I have been watching you and I get smarter all the time. I read you name and I swear I grow new brain cells!

Hi Luke, I am a subscriber to your Van Power Method. Thanks for this video, it was helpful. In this video, what Victron MultiPlus II are you using?

Great video. How can I use the smart shunt with a 36v battery bank (3@12v Lithium 56ah) for use with a trolling motor setup? I plan on using one smart shunt for cranking/house battery. Would I need a 2nd shunt for trolling motor bank? Thanks

Does the Alarm alert on the auxiliary input as well such as low SOC of the starter battery?
@dannydivine76992 ай бұрын
If you add the temperature sensor onto the smart shunt, will it allow for the charging sources to enable temperature compensated charging? Is LiPo4 as sensitive to temperature variation as wet lead is??

Thanks for the good tutotiral. What do you mean by Starter Battery? I'm building a home backup Solar Generator with 12V LiFePo batteries in parallel (qty 4).
@rosslukeman2 ай бұрын
I'm referring to the engine starter battery for vehicle-based power systems. In this case you won't have that so you could monitor something else or just turn the auxiliary input setting to "none." Hope that helps, thanks for tuning in.

Can I use just a smart shunt in existing system with flooded batteries and no Other Victron Equipment or must I get the Cerbo GX also to get smart phone info?
@rosslukeman3 ай бұрын
Hey there, yes you can definitely use the SmartShunt as a standalone item with no other Victron equipment, and it will work for flooded batteries. To be clear you do not need the Cerbo and can read it with your smartphone using the VictronConnect app. Hope that helps, thanks for tuning in!

Does the shunt pass the SOC to a Victron mppt or do you have to pull up the shunt to view it?
@sure2rain7252 ай бұрын
Setting the Battery SOC on reset to "keep SOC" is okay but if the line fuse blows, the SOC won't change and you'll get false readings. If set to "Zero", the display will show dashes until power is resumed.

I hope they used an upgraded Bluetooth module with the new shunt, the range with the original is terrible. If you buy the $50 dongle (more money), it greatly improves the bluetooth range.
@andrewford803 ай бұрын
Man, I am so happy to hear someone else say this. I couldn't get my shut to speak with the charge controller unless they were super close to each other over bluetooth. They're both now kind of tucked into the same cabinet in our camper trailer but it's pretty hard to get a signal from the shut. Might have to look into that dongle. I've heard the shunt + BMV has better bluetooth too. I'd probably go that version in future.

I can't get it to connect sitting in my truck driver seat without the dongle, with the dongle, I can connect sitting in my house on the lazy boy 20 yards away. @@andrewford80

@andrewford80 Mine wouldn't connect sitting in my truck hooked to the RV. Put the dongle in, now I can connect from my house living room over 20 yards away. Victron cheeped out on the shunt Bluetooth module to sell you the dongle.

Would this be a good choice for a alternator amp meter?
@mfleet77363 ай бұрын
A DC current clamp on the output stud is how diagnostics is done. This isn't a permanent install and I'm curious if there is a reliable way to permanently mount a sensor there.
@rosslukeman3 ай бұрын
Yes you could set it up as a "DC Power Meter" and put it under the hood. I don't know if it would store the data in that mode, but it would give you a real-time readout.
