INTRODUCTION The BMPRO BC300 External Shunt and CommLink devices provide wireless battery monitoring for high current BatteryPlus35 and J35 systems. The addition of the BC300 External Shunt and CommLink to BP35 & J35 systems allows high current loads to be directly connected to the battery via the BC300 External Shunt. This enhances the system behavior with temperature monitoring of the battery for greater protection.
