I'm a total tech illiterate, does it come with everything one needs to fully install the meter or one has to purchase other things as well? thanks

Hello, C. As I recall, everything you need is included. You will have to connect it to your battery bank, mount the shunt nearby and run the included wire from there to the monitor itself. There is probably a .pdf on the Victron website that has everything you will need to know. It's a very well made device and worth the higher price. Best wishes!

My house batteries are up under my E-350 van, and are therefore exposed to the elements while driving along. OK for the shunt to be down there, too?

There is a RJ-45 connection that is not intended to get wet, so having it in an unprotected location is probably not a good idea, especially if road salt could get to it. If you can bring the battery negative cable into the van, that would be much better, or else use a weatherproof junction box.

I have two 12v 31-series agm batteries wired in parallel. can anyone provide info on how the negative from the battery should be wired to the shunt?

After the two batteries are connected together, the negative from one of them goes to the shunt, and nothing else. The other side of the shunt goes to the negative bus bar, chassis ground, etc. It's important that no loads or charging devices connect directly to the battery negative, otherwise the flow will not be monitored by the shunt.

I have just installed a victron 75/15 mppt & would like to install a display that does both 1) display battery level 2) show solar panel live status

The monitor will show current state of charge of the batteries. You can then scroll to the current inbound or outbound power in amps. The number will be plus showing net power from the panels minus current load. I hope that helps.

Top Akkumonitor, Parameter einstellen erforderlich

Das ist ja ein cooles Teil. Präzise kann man hier den Ladezustand des Akkus beobachten, entweder per Display oder App. Einzige Kritik: es sollte besser beschrieben werden, wie die vielen Parameter für den verwendeten Akku-Typ einzustellen sind. Ich kenne mich doch nicht aus- welchen Wert für Schweifstrom oder Peukert-Exponent. Da gibt die Anleitung nicht viel her, das Internet hilft dann aber. Wenn es einmal eingestellt ist, liefert es beste Ergebnisse.

Great product at a discount price

Works with my mppt solar controller via single cable But you need to buy this VE direct cable separately Gives you data and fine tuning options for charging via solar controller Latest display unit as well Overall it's a great buy

Excellent way to monitor your RV battery

I hummed and hawed about whether I really needed this. I had that "light bar" style battery monitor panel that came standard with my RV. Green was good, yellow was low, etc. But I wasn't sure how accurate it was and wanted to know how much my solar panel was helping. So I took the plunge and installed the Victron. Easy to install and the Bluetooth functionality is so helpful. Turns out that "light bar" battery monitor was useless because it wasn't reading my 200 Ah AGM properly (wasn't designed to). Also, turns out that my solar panel was barely producing any Amps to charge my battery. Without the Victron I wouldn't have known about the problem. Now everything is up and running and the Victron shows my what is happening with my RV battery, estimates days left on my battery, etc. Fantastic.
