    Battery Monitor?

    Would like to install a battery monitor that will let me know the battery is charging, voltage and charge percentage. Any recommendations? Perhaps one with bluetooth that Ican view on my phone.

    Do you have lithium batteries?

    The Victron Smart Shunt is a good choice, but the behavior of lead-acid batteries makes it less accurate with them.

    We have a Victron unit with Bluetooth that works very will with our four BB LiFePO4 batteries. It's a BMV-712.

    +1 on the BMV-712, very good unit. Victron makes a smart shunt that has the same functions of the BMV-712, but without the display unit, it is strictly blue tooth.

    A less pricey option is the Renogy monitor (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RP5B5P7). It doesn't have the fancy Bluetooth option, but it tracks your power very well.
