hi,
I have a simple question … I have a van with 2 batteries (starter, board) and intend to setup a Orion xs as DC DC booster … and also have a shunt I wanted to hook up on the starter battery but I realized that in Orion xs app I see both starter and board battery voltage
is there any benefit in still adding the shunt ?
Thanx in advance
If your decision making is based on voltage, then I would say no, no advantage.
The shunt is a completely different component than Orion XS. It is a great product for monitoring what is happening with your battery system, regardless of whether Orion is charging or not. The Victron smartshunt is a great entry level product to the Victron ecosystem.
