With its \u003cstrong\u003eIP65 rating\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is fully protected against dust ingress and resistant to low-pressure water jets, making it ideal for outdoor and marine applications. This smart model features advanced functions such as Bluetooth communication, a secondary input for optional monitoring of an auxiliary battery bank, and an extremely low current draw from the battery bank (0.7Ah per month for a 12V system). Key statistics—including battery voltage, charge\/discharge current, Amp Hours consumed, state of charge, and time-to-go—can be viewed and settings adjusted via the inbuilt Bluetooth using any Bluetooth-enabled mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eBattery data\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe SmartShunt measures the vital parameters relating to the battery condition and the energy it receives \/ provides, and transmits this information via Bluetooth, where it can be viewed by the user (and where some settings can be amended if necessary).
