The Lynx Shunt VE.Can with M8 connections is a Victron battery monitor shunt rated for 1,000 A continuous, with a place for a fuse. It supports 12 V, 24 V or 48 V systems and works across 9 to 70 V DC. It talks to the rest of the system over VE.Can with RJ45 connectors and sits in an IP22 enclosure. Victron has marked this part number end of life and names LYN040102110 as the replacement.
Our take
This Lynx Shunt has no reverse polarity protection, so the battery leads need checking before the first connection. It reports over VE.Can and relies on a GX device for readout, and Victron has marked this part number end of life.
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.
