Hello all I am figuring out what I want to do with setting up an auxiliary battery on my ute.

I am going to run a 20 amp dc charger to charge my battery and I am going to install a Victron battery monitor BMV702 with Bluetooth dongle. (got the 702 cheap so I can justify adding the separate dongle instead of paying the money for the 712)

I am also going to get some solar panels and I want to run a victron solar controller and initially I was looking at the Victron smart solar controller that has Bluetooth inbuilt.

I am starting to think, now that I am going to run the Bluetooth battery monitor that I may not need Bluetooth as well on the solar controller and just buy the Victron bluesolar controller that does not have Bluetooth.

Does this sound right? It looks like I will have to setup the solar controller to the battery through the shunt of the battery monitor and this should allow me to see all my information through the battery monitor anyway. Thanks
