Ok, after much whining I've installed the SmartShunt and I'm impressed. I can get BT range through the front half of the TT and that's all I really need.



Question: I have 2 Duracell GC2 6V golf cart batteries in series. Each battery is rated at 215AH. Is my total Amp Hour rating only 215AH? I need this correct number for the SmartShunt app.

Yup, in series just set it to 215AH but set the discharge floor at 50% (provided they're lead acid). Your AH would be doubled only if they were in parallel.

Yes, they're lead acid.

The Victron shunt when installed, is already connected to the battery negative and the ground side negative. There is no place to install any other negative. There is an +aux port for monitoring a mid point battery. The VE port is a hard wire communication port for remote VX accesories such as a color monitor etc.

For those having bluetooth connectivity, is there a chance other bluetooth devices are interfering with the signal reception? My Victron 500 shunt has been a flawless performer.
