Temperature coefficient

This setting is only available after the Aux input setting has been set to "Temperature".
The available battery capacity decreases with temperature. Typically, the reduction, compared to the capacity at
20°C, is 18% at 0°C and 40% at -20°C.
The temperature coefficient is the percentage the battery capacity changes with temperature when temperature
decreases to less than 20°C (above 20°C the influence of temperature on capacity is relatively low and is not
taken into account). The unit of this value is "%cap/°C" or percent capacity per degree Celsius. The typical value
(below 20°C) is 1%cap/°C for lead acid batteries, and 0.5%cap/°C for LFP batteries.

Custom name

In the SmartShunt product information screen, you can change the name of the SmartShunt. By default, it is
called by its product name. But a more applicable name might be needed, especially if you are using multiple
SmartShunts in close proximity of each other it might become confusing with which SmartShunt you are
communicating. You can, for example, add identification numbers to their name, like: SmartShunt A, SmartShunt
B and so on.
