Installed Victron BMV-712 battery monitor in our T@B CS. I was also able to install the Victron app on our Android TV.

    Nice video, thanks for sharing.  I have a Victron install sometime in my future as well.  What's your source for electrical materials: wire, cable housing, etc. ?

    Most of the stuff came with the unit. I bought the waterproof box and the split loom from a place called Princess Auto in Toronto Canada.

    Yup. Any good-sized auto parts store will stock spools of wire in different sizes and colors, a wide variety of crimp fittings, and all the other associated doo-dads!

    I don't know if you will specifically need it for the Victron install, but if you are going to dabble in any sort of automotive electrical, I highly recommend getting a ratcheting crimper.

    Ratcheting crimper and those new heat shrinking connectors. Don't laugh, but I used my creme brûlée butane torch to heat shrink the connectors on my solar controller box lol.
