This has been a great thread, battery sense is something that came in on alternators when I was an apprentice. After reading this I purchased a smart shunt IP65. It's IP Rated and lives under the bonnet, I have a similar mppt charger then you and was able to "link" the shunt to the charger thru the VE direct Bluetooth link. It's a great feature, wouldn't have known if I wasnt following this..
The Smart shunt also let's me monitor both battery's voltage and the dual batteries amperage, meaning I wouldn't need the bm2 units. Pretty handy to monitor the health of the second battery

Up at Dawn this morning and shunt reads 13.26,,
I'm gunna call that a win.
Thank you all for your advice.. [thumbsupbig]
