Hi folks : I have purchased a victron smart shunt battery monitor (Wi-Fi only) .I have not installed it as yet but I was wondering will this tell me the battery voltage in the auxiliary battery without any interference from main charging system or DC charger solar etc .
Or is there any way of determining the exact voltage in exhilary battery.
cheers

G'day Nick
I have no doubt the Victron shunt (good KIT) will show you additional
information but the phone has to be activated to read the system via it's Blueteeth.
The battery voltage can be seen/observed easily, I use a RED digital voltage meter as mentioned from EBAY, 3 digits, eg, 12.6v, no hundredths. That is for the Lithium AUX batteries. Another digital voltmeter BLUE numbers, is mounted below the RED one. Both have a switched earth, ie, Sw open to turn them OFF. These are mounted on RHS of Dash and are small but with a Glare shield around them they are easily seen while driving. This way I can instantly monitor both systems . Both voltages, Engine alt/battery and DCDC/SOLAR MPPT going into the AUX Lithiums. If anything is not working I can instantly see the voltages and maybe rectify any issue.
