I plan to install a Victron SmartShunt in a new RV to monitor the BB Lithium batteries since the batteries themselves do not have any built-in BT functionality. I had used the Victron 712 Smart in my previous RV and was happy with it, but would be pleased to save the $75 with the SmartShunt since I don't need a display unit as long as I have the smartphone display. But I do not know what the range of the SmartShunt BT signal is and so I am not sure that it will reach all the way from the battery box to the driver's seat.
The 712 Smart had an extraordinarily long range (perhaps 30 feet, perhaps more) but I have seen comments that the range of the SmartShunt is considerably less. Can anyone give me some information about how far I should expect the range to be?
