Can the shunt be located where it is exposed to the elements? i:e- battery area under the steps on a class A
Thx

shunt location
Frustrating that the shunt doesn't come with an enclosure. Or am I wrong?
No I don't believe that there is an original Victron enclosure available.
But its not that hard or expensive to make something up yourself - you should be able to buy a suitable hobby box & some cable glands from most electronics stores or online.
This photo might give you some ideas;
No - there is a circuit board on the shunt and a number of conections/terminals that won't like that very much.
You could consider mounting the shunt in a sealed clear project box with all wiring routed through cable glands.
However as some condensation can still possibly form inside the sealed box, it may be a good idea to mitigate this by drilling a small hole somewhere on the bottom where water can't enter. This will allow the inside & outside air to equilise somewhat.
