As your 12V or 24V system outgrows basic wiring, this 1,000 amp shunt centralizes battery monitoring and DC distribution in one Lynx module. VE.Can ties it into a GX device, and M10 terminals support multiple fuse types, keeping wiring organized.
Once a system grows past a basic battery and a couple of loads, wiring starts spreading across separate shunts, busbars, and fuse points, and tracking state of charge turns into another standalone job. This unit pulls those jobs into one place with an intelligent 1,000-amp shunt, a built-in battery monitor, and fused DC distribution in a single modular Lynx unit. The positive and negative busbar design puts system integration into the hardware instead of leaving it to a pile of separate parts. You end up with one organized backbone that's easier to lay out, easier to trace, and easier to service when the system gets more involved.
A separate monitor can tell you what the battery is doing, but it still leaves monitoring disconnected from the rest of the power architecture. This shunt communicates with a GX device (sold separately) over VE.Can and provides accurate state of charge information as part of the Lynx distribution system. The built-in battery monitor and VE.Can communication turn it into a central reporting point instead of a standalone add-on. In real use, battery data shows up as part of the system layout you already built, so you're not chasing information through unrelated components.
High-current systems put a lot of stress on every connection point, and a patched-together setup can leave too many places for trouble to start. This unit is rated for 1,000 amp DC continuous, and the M10 model can handle CNN, ANL, or Mega fuses, with the main system fuse not included. That combination puts the shunt, fuse location, and distribution hardware into one structured assembly instead of splitting them across separate pieces. In practice, you get a centralized connection point built for serious current, with fewer loose ends in the layout.
Upgrading from a simple setup usually turns into reworking wiring every time another component gets added. This unit is built for modular Lynx distribution system compatibility, so it fits into a structured DC architecture instead of forcing a one-off layout. It also supports 12V, 24V, or 48V systems across a 9V to 70V DC supply voltage range, which keeps it usable across common system builds. When expansion is part of the plan, you're starting with a module that belongs in a broader system instead of a dead-end piece that needs to be replaced later.

Hi, everyone, Steve here with etrailer. Today we're checking out the Victron Energy Lynx Shunt, the VE.Can M10. Now, this is a smart, high-current shunt designed for serious DC power systems. Folks, this unit combines a 1,000-amp battery shunt with a built-in battery monitor. It's gonna give you accurate, real-time data on voltage, current, and your state of charge in an all-in-one, clean, modular package. Now, I did go ahead and put these caps off or took 'em off, rather.
You do also get a fuse dummy bar here included. And you get two of these terminating resistors that plug into the RJ45 connections here around back. So basically, if you had multiple things in series, you could plug this into one, use your connecting cable to keep going if you're daisy chaining. And then on the end of that, you would plug this other end in to complete that circuit. You also get the temp sensor included.
Now again, this will connect directly to the Victron GX devices using the VE.Can. So your battery data will show up instantly on your Cerbo GX, your GX Touch Display, or the Victron VRM Portal, giving you remote monitoring. And this is designed to be part of that Victron Lynx modular system. It's gonna install neatly alongside maybe like your Lynx power in or Lynx distributor modules, keeping high-current wiring organized and professional. So there's two terminals you see here.
They would plug into the back of this. If you had another part of the system, that plugs right in. So that's one thing I like about the Victron equipment. It's very nice, very neat, very clean and easy to install everything. Now, knowing how to install it, where everything goes, that's another question.
Obviously, you need a professional electrician or you need to take time and read the instructions before you jump into it yourself. Now, this M10 version supports larger busbar connections, and it's gonna include the flexible fuse-mounted option that I was mentioning. And this will make it ideal for higher power, either 12-, 24-, or even 48-volt systems in your RVs, marine setups, off-grid installations, and those kinda things. So wrapping it up, if you want an accurate battery monitoring with a clean system layout, this is a great option for you. As always, you can reach out to us here at etrailer.com for more information. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
