Battery Monitors

Victron Battery Monitor Kits

Think of a battery monitor as a fuel gauge for your battery bank. If you want to know the charge level of your battery bank and how much current is entering or leaving your batteries, you need a battery monitor. When energy conservation is critical, a battery monitor is very helpful in educating you on the electrical consumption of your various devices as well as the charging potential of your solar array. On Victron Lithium systems, we recommend a Lynx Shunt on lithium systems using a Cerbo GX. For everything else, we recommend the BMV-712 or SmartShunt with Bluetooth.
