Great post! I was just contemplating this issue - I have too many things stacked on my batteries!
Q: So I am assuming you are direct wiring various things to the house batteries with these setups? yes? How do you handle the fuse? I have read elsewhere that both + and - wires need an inline fuse? I have a couple in-line fuses, bought at sLowes or Home Despot . . but the wire is soooo much smaller than the other wire I'm using - I fear this is not correct. Wish I had the kind of space you all have!! I have a small - 2 battery box and that's it! (01 Rialta) - really tough to run wires to the batteries - neatly!
Can anyone recommend a website with detailed instructions about direct wiring to batteries??
@rjxj: (hope this gets to you); I see you have a Tri-metric solar charger. How does your set-up work with the shunt so you get proper readings on your monitor??
So much to learn . . .
