SmartShunt enough to monitor battery

Hi, if I get 16 battery cells and a jk bms but dont have a connection between bms and CerboGX, would the a SmartShunt be enough to run the system? The bms would take care of oprotection and balancing and the smartshunt would deliver the amps and Soc etc

Yes. You would set the JK to the cell limits (2.5 and 3.65) and program the chargers/loads to operate INSIDE the cell limits, i.e., cut off ABOVE 2.5V/cell and charge BELOW 3.65V/cell.


If you're a tinkerer, @Louis van der Walt has created a VenusOS driver that works with the JK:

Thank you :D

Would the VenusOS driver work for the CerboGX?
