If you are camping off-grid then it’s a good idea to know exactly how much power is remaining in your leisure battery and a shunt is a great way to do that. I purchased the Victron Smart Shunt several months ago and in this video I explain, as simply as possible, how a shunt works, why you would need one and how to install them.
I also cover the features of the Victron smart shunt and some minor limitations I found in the “smart” features that it boasts.
