I just bought the Victron 300 amp smart shunt and iv been watching a couple videos on how to connect it, but they only show it being connected to maybe one or two battery’s. I have the 100 amp Victron charge controller, charging all 4 liFePo4 battery’s with the the positive cable on the bottom battery and the negative at the top for even charge distribution. I’m not sure if that means anything but I want to make sure I have enough
detail here. I figured the smart shunt would just go in between the charge controller and first battery and I would just set the battery capacity in the app as the sum of all 4. Any advise would help!
See this diagram. Where it shows one battery negative connected to the battery terminal on the shunt, connect your 4 battery negatives. Everything else connects to the load side of the shunt. Best practice is as said above, connect the 4 battery negatives to a bus bar, then to the battery side of the shunt.
