Converted my RV from lead acid to lithium with a Dakota 280 Ah battery and a Victron Smart Shunt. Was able to relocate the battery from the trailer tongue to my front storage compartment and keep all the wiring neatly tucked away – as well as clean up the factory wiring mess I found during the conversion – typical camper crap. I’m just learning about lithium and battery monitors so I had several questions for the guys at Dakota and they helped me get this project completed and working perfectly.
Here’s a couple of pictures of my setup – one view from the storage compartment and the other of the backside of the bulkhead where the cables are routed and the Victron is mounted. Shout out to my son the aircraft mechanic for providing the fancy Elcon bulkhead connector for the battery cables – makes for fast and easy battery removal. I used a 3M product called Dual Lock on the bottom of the battery to prevent it from sliding on the floor – it’s similar to velcro, but not the same at all.
Haven’t been able to take it on a trip yet, but Spring is coming and it should be awesome.

This is a great way to monitor your battery usage while on the water along with many other functions. I recommend if using for bass boat trolling motor lithium batteries.
