Not looking to make a massive investment in replacing my battery chargers as they work well for us and with the way we use the gen there really is no need for an inverter. However since we have replaced our batteries last season I'm curious about the victron smart shunt to monitor all the batteries. Current setup is a 24v bank for the bow thursters and 2 12volt 260 Amp hour banks for the port and starboard\house. Looking for some feedback and photos of anyone that has installed the smart shunts. Seem easy enough and I know the wiring diagram victron provides for working with battery banks however I have some heavy cabling connected to the negative terminals on both 12v banks. I think i would need to have the cables reterminated to fit a neutral mounting block to remove the load from the negative stud and route all through the shunt. Does anyone have pics of their install?
