Yes you can use both, BUT you can only choose 1 of them as your master battery monitor. The other will be reported under devices but not shown on the main flow display. This means that the SOC will report only the one battery and if you have DVCC set up then this will work from that one battery. You will need to connect the SmartShunt to the Verbo with a VE direct cable.

In devices you should see SOC for both batteries, but the SOC on the flow page will only show the one chosen as the master battery. I did not explain clearly.
