The Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) is a 1,000 A shunt with a built-in battery monitor that tracks state of charge. It supports 12 V, 24 V or 48 V systems and operates from 9 to 70 V DC. Readings are viewed on a GX device such as a Cerbo GX. The busbar connections are M10 and the enclosure is rated IP22. The shunt has no reverse polarity protection.

Our take

The shunt has no reverse polarity protection, so the polarity at the M10 busbar connections needs checking before power goes on. The upside is the 1,000 A continuous rating, with 12, 24 and 48 V systems all handled by one unit.

From our buying guide

An amp-hour figure needs its rate, since BCI says rated capacity is specified at a particular discharge rate, temperature and cutoff voltage.

Check before you buy:

  • A voltage reading means little until the battery has rested, and each maker sets its own rest and table.
  • Ignition protection on a charger or switch is the maker's statement, so read what it says and which standard it names.
