[RE-wrenches] Advice for battery monitoring

[Maverick Brown]

I have two recommendations

Victron smart shunt, which is a Bluetooth device. 

Also, since you have the MidNite classic, you could install a whizbang junior and a shunt. You could also put the MidNite classic on the Internet and view it that status remotely. (I’m assuming myMidNite is still available.) 

Thank you,

Maverick

The system was  installed in 2019.  I’m looking at the Trimetric meter – but are there better alternatives?
