Hi, I’m researching to upgrade my teardrop trailer to lithium batteries with Victron components. If I install a victron smart charger and a victron solar controller, do I also need to add the smart shunt?

Do I also need a shunt to monitor
Hi @Jwalsh,
Yes, or maybe better a BMV-712.
I installed a smart shunt in my teardrop, and now wish I installed the BMV-712 instead because it would make it a lot easier for other people (my wife) to use the system. Also when we are camping we usually don't have our phones as much (and don't want them!) so having the dedicated screen next to the water tank level would have been better in hindsight.
