## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm a total tech illiterate, does it come with everything one needs to fully install the meter or one has to purchase other things as well? thanks**
A: Hello, C.  As I recall, everything you need is included.  You will have to connect it to your battery bank, mount the shunt nearby and run the included wire from there to the monitor itself.  There is probably a .pdf on the Victron website that has everything you will need to know.  It's a very well made device and worth the higher price.  Best wishes!

**Q: My house batteries are up under my E-350 van, and are therefore exposed to the elements while driving along. OK for the shunt to be down there, too?**
A: There is a RJ-45 connection that is not intended to get wet, so having it in an unprotected location is probably not a good idea, especially if road salt could get to it. If you can bring the battery negative cable into the van, that would be much better, or else use a weatherproof junction box.

**Q: I have two 12v 31-series agm batteries wired in parallel. can anyone provide info on how the negative from the battery should be wired to the shunt?**
A: After the two batteries are connected together, the negative from one of them goes to the shunt, and nothing else. The other side of the shunt goes to the negative bus bar, chassis ground, etc. It's important that no loads or charging devices connect directly to the battery negative, otherwise the flow will not be monitored by the shunt.

**Q: I have just installed a victron 75/15 mppt & would like to install a display that does both 1) display battery level 2) show solar panel live status**
A: The monitor will show current state of charge of the batteries. You can then scroll to the current inbound or outbound power in amps. The number will be plus showing net power from the panels minus current load. I hope that helps.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ worth it so far
*by A***R on July 11, 2025*

Very easy to set up. this is an expensive accessory with cheaper option on the market. but the Bluetooth and quality make this one stand out. It is real nice to be able to make adjustments on my phone and monitor the batteries without scrolling though the readout on the display. The Victron app in easy to use. In addition. This meter also comes with a longer data cord then the cheaper battery monitor kits. I mounted the display with the other camper controls which are in the opposite end of my 25' trailer from the batteries that are mounted on the tongue. It was nice to not have to track down a longer data cable and have the extra cost.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent battery monitor
*by G***. on June 15, 2025*

I installed this battery monitor in my RV. Victron makes great stuff and this monitor gives me all the information needed to monitor my 300 AH Lithium battery including State of Charge, AMPs going out, hours left at current rate, and much more including history and trends. Much better than the inexpensive Chinese monitor I installed on my sailboat. I'll be upgrading that one soon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reliable
*by D***. on July 1, 2025*
