Victron Smart Shunt Install and Review

Today I received a Victron Smart Shunt in the mail that I ordered last week. Throughout this video I go step by step on installing it into a system, and calibrating the settings for accuracy. I have to say, it is pretty easy compared to the Renogy Core One, and it didn't throw up any errors. In saying that it is not connected to the Cerbo SX so it does not have wifi capability. For now.
If you are on face book I have started a page that is focusing on primarily SRNE, and SRNE rebranded controllers, and troubleshooting them. I'll include the link below if you want to help contribute to that page and get it off to a good start.

Cool! I just installed one on my RV. I got tired of having to monitor the battery located under the bed by hand. Got surprised on a camping trip a couple of weeks ago when the battery shut down in the middle of the night. So far so good!

@@mrblueskynm3968 awesome, thanks for watching!

Thanks I’m in the market for a monitor for my battery bank (4x105 ah)

@@Utah_Mike so far the Victron Smart Shunt is my favorite, and the Renogy BT300 is decent (and less expensive), but can have connectivity issues. The Victron is pretty seamless for setting up.

Some say the Victron controllers wont charge the battery till its over 5 volts above the battery. So if I'm getting 16 volts and 18 amps it still isn't charging? That's 288 watts. If this is the case what should I do to raise the voltage? You can charge a battery with 1 amp.

@@skid4482 I'm not sure if I'm following your question, but what controller do you have?

[@skid4482]

@@Tool_Shed_Talk I don't know why but I had this idea if I was running a 12 volt system I would have to keep my voltage down by staying in parallel with my solar panels. Once I hooked the panels up in Series Parallel. It solved the problem. My voltage shot up and my amps came down. Everyone is always talking about a 12 volt system or 24 or 48 but the truth is the solar panels can be in a 48 volt array and still charge a 12 volt battery if your charge controller is a 12/24/48 one. I finally get it now. 😆
