Turn any electrical system into a smart system, with live, real time data relayed to your mobile phone or laptop. Want to estimate how much run time you have left for your trolling motor? Want to know if your starter battery has enough juice to get your van or RV going in the morning? Or want to estimate how much longer you can spend off grid, boondocking? The Victron BMV Smart Battery Monitor is a powerful battery monitor with Bluetooth on board for remote monitoring, and an easy to use screen for manual data. If you are looking to install a batter monitor out of sight, behind the scenes then we recommend the Victron Smart Shunt. But if you are looking for a battery monitor with a screen display for quick access this battery monitor can do it all – both streaming live data to your mobile phone or laptop via the VictronConnect App, which is free to use, and providing a screen for quick manual access to your data. All the usual features are there – such as battery state-of-charge, voltage, current load, time-to-go – and all user-programmable settings …together with extensive historical information which allows you to analyze your system’s performance. Instruction manual available here. Small, simple, and versatile, we have found the SmartShunt to be useful for boats, RVs, Vans, or Campers where you need real time data on your batteries to make decisions on when and where to go next. And for solar energy application, where you want a simple and accessible way to know how much energy is going in, and out of your solar battery bank.

The AIMS quick disconnect gives your solar system extra safety and flexibility when maintaining your system. New installations of solar photovoltaic systems have increased the need for disconnect switches and overcurrent protective devices capable of interrupting currents at voltages up to 1600 Vdc. Some US locations require a disconnect switch. PV system arrays generate DC current and need to be disconnected for maintenance or  safety. The AIMS quick disconnect switch is also ideal for applications such as cabins or vacation homes that don’t require delivery of constant solar power. Simply disconnect your solar array and reconnect when needed.
