Review on Victron VE Direct Cable 1 8M by Bryce Marshall

This really should be included in their "Smart Shunt" for free as BLE on Smart Shunt is just awful. Such a battery monitor is often used less frequently than the user would like, simply due to the unstable wireless connection and history volatility available via the Victron Connect app when the Bluetooth connection to the Smart Shunt drops, ie if you switch apps during use . (no background operation) or lock screen of your iOS device due to inactivity, all history related data is gone. Charging $28 for a 5-inch USB cable to essentially fix what their horrible Bluetooth capability is missing seems like a bad thing. a strategy to attract customers who have already purchased premium products offered by Victron.
