All,
I’ve been following this thread as my PO-installed Link 2000 just isn’t working
great and I’m considering a replacement.
Perhaps I’m weird in this regard, but I’m not a fan of having any kind of load
on the batteries overnight when I leave the boat. And I know these monitors
have a constant load on the battery, albeit a small one. Nevertheless, has
anyone connected one of these to a switch so you can see readings on demand
(and not all the time)? Or does that make it all not work properly?
All the best,
Edd

On my 34, a couple years ago I rewired my batteries, starter, alternator,
installed a Victron BMV-702s, blue sea switch and ACR, plus some bars and
breakers.
I wanted a location that was near to the batteries, engine room, and fuse
panel. The batteries were under the quarter birth so I installed the shunt,
ACR, buses, breakers all on the plywood board that separated the battery
compartment from other storage under the quarter berth. I took that board home
and worked on it there, naming it my "shunt board." It had things mounted on
both sides of it and has worked out really well.
No problems since installing it. I got the Bluetooth dongle for the Victron and
can check the battery stats from the cockpit easily. Eventually, I surface
mounted the Victron display just under the VHF beside the fuse panel above the
nav table.
This page is very useful and I utilized its previous version (on pbase) for my
install:

Subject: Stus-List Battery monitor shunt location
I recently purchased a Victron battery monitor and am wondering where others,
particularly 36' owners, have mounted their battery monitor shunts, if they
have one?
Many thanks,
