Battery Monitoring Kit Recommendation

Looking for a recommendation for a battery monitoring kit for a 2018 View. I'd like one that communicates with an iPhone.

Don’t know what you mean by “kit”, but the inexpensive and easy to install Victron Smartshunt Bluetooth battery monitor works well up to a distance of about 10ft. I have one and it works great. $120 on Amazon.

Yes, the Victron SmartShunt is probably your best bet. I installed one last year.

Lots of folks still call them BMKs because that's how they were sold and talked about. But they aren't really sold as "kits."

I also have a Magnum BMK installed but it doesn't work via a phone app. Just on the Magnum ME-ARC50 monitor. And, this one is marketed and sold as a BMK "kit."

The Victrons seem to be selling out at lots of places and the last time I looked they were $130 on Amazon.

Thanks. i quoted someone else when I called it a "BMK". Sorry about the misdirection. I plead ignorance.
