The VX5VPM001 is a precision battery monitoring shunt designed to work with Xantrex battery monitors or compatible systems. Its primary function is to provide a low-resistance, high-accuracy current measurement path, enabling precise monitoring of battery state-of-charge (SOC), current flow, and amp-hours consumed in 12V or 24V DC systems.
