I disagree here, I do agree the Victron is good, but I dont agree they are worth the price. there are so many unit that use the exact same software/hardware out there for less than 1/4 the price. back in the day they used to be the best, not there just riding on there old name and trying to justify prices that are 400% more than they should be.

Please do share...
I believe I just did ;)
Victron is like GO Power or like battleborn. they came out with a quality product when there wasnt much compitition and they could set there price. now that there is lots of compatition they dont want to drop there price and start add compains to trash the quality of other manufactures, say because they are made in china. well both good and bad quality can come out of china and that depends largly on the specs the inporting company gives the manufacture. most of Victron probably comes over in sea cans and there good quality. my 50 buck battery monitor is the same set up as the 250.00 victron (cdn pricing) the only thing different is the victron has bluetooth. bluetooth would be worth an extra 20 to 30 bucks ,but not 200.00.
