INTRODUCTION
The Mastervolt MasterShunt provides extended
information about the status of your batteries. This
information includes reading voltage, current, Ah,
time

MONITORING YOUR BATTERY SET
Your battery bank is monitored in the most accurate
way, i.e. by measuring the voltage and the
(dis)charge current by means of a shunt. Important
is the time factor included in the measurements. This
enables the MasterShunt to determine the state of
charge very precisely.
