Yes, but a Victron, or other quality shunt will be more accurate. The Overkill may suit your needs. I would suggest running just your Overkill and see how it goes. You can always add a good shunt later.
the bms is doing a great job for me... I also have the victron smart shunt but not really needed

Which BMS are you using? What software version?

We've had a good look at this one and it's not bad. Reasonably accurate (better than those really cheap things - which are horrific). We actually compared about 8 shunts in various tests. Settled on Victron and Juntek - they are within 1% of each other and very close to the Daly Smart BMS. A big advantage of both the Victron and Juntek is that they are wireless. The Aldi can be extended but is still a wired solution.
The advantage with the Victron is that it is accessible via blue tooth from any device, and as part of a larger Victron system (or a Raspberry Pi) the info will upload into the most-excellent Victron Remote Management Cloud, which does a really nice job of tracking and displaying the data.We've been testing this shunt for the past two months:

So far so good. For the price I'm very impressed with it. Costs about $30/£20
We're running it side-by-side with a more pricey Victron smartshunt, if anything this cheap thing is better
just tells you how much power you are currently using...
So. When is my battery getting too low. It’s a SLA 100amp hr battery and all I am running off it is-2 12v LED lights and charging my Dewalt 20v Drill recharger for the batter when needed.
