I plan on installing a Victron Battery Monitor Smart Shunt 500A. I understand a single negative cable must be installed from the negative terminal of the battery to the "battery minus" side of the shunt and that will be the only connection between those two points.
My question is, is there any limitation to the length of that one cable? In my application it may be up to 5 feet long. I will only be connecting one battery and wonder if the length of that cable has an impact on the monitors performance.
The monitor itself will not be that far from the battery (if that makes a difference). It's just that I would like to take advantage of some existing holes in the trailer for routing purposes.
I have exhausted the Victron Energy site but most of it is way over my head and often discussing loads, powers balance, etc when dealing with battery banks.. Not my situation...only one battery.
Thanks
