Hi everyone, just joined the forum and this is my first post. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Haven’t built a battery before but I’m leaning towards the 3.2V DIY option for my battery bank (24V, 280 Ah 8S). I’m looking at the Victron Energy shunt w Bluetooth connection, so I can monitor the batteries, but I see that a lot of BMS’s have Bluetooth as well. Do I need the shunt if the BMS has this feature? Does it give me anything more than what I’d have w the BMS in terms of monitoring from my phone?
Thanks!
