Common Concerns Answered
Is the PCB included with this Victron Replacement Shunt?
No, the printed circuit board (PCB) is explicitly not included with this Victron Energy replacement shunt. It must be acquired separately for the BMV monitor system to function.
Why is the PCB not included?
The shunt and PCB are often sold separately to allow for replacement of individual components if only one part has failed, offering a more economical solution for users who only need to replace the shunt itself.
What if I don't have specific knowledge of the BMV system components?
This replacement shunt is designed for users familiar with the Victron BMV system. If you lack specific knowledge, consulting the BMV manual or a qualified marine technician is recommended before installation to ensure proper functionality and safety.
