This is the response I got:
**************************
First, counting coulombs is counting coulombs, and what the source/destination is makes no difference.
Secondly, "computing SOC with LFP..." this sounds like its based on voltage instead of coulomb counting... the non-counting meters have only the current voltage to look up (estimate) the SoC. And this of course differs based on type of battery chemistry.
**************************
This confirms what I thought. Since the Victron Smart Shunt and the AiLi meter are both counting coulombs they should be equivalent as far as reporting of SOC is concerned. You're just getting bluetooth connectivity and some other bells and whistles with the Victron Smart Shunt.
