The  VPC  Jupiter  (hereinafter  referred  to  as  Jupiter)  is  a  user-friendly  multi-panel  system  for  campers 
combining the most important functions and information in one unit.  
The VPC Jupiter consists of a display and control panel, as well as of the smart shunt for current measurement 
and evaluation of the residual battery capacity. 
It is equipped with a dual USB charging jack with a maximum charging current of 2.5 A for appliances which 
can be charged via USB, such as smartphones or tablets.
