Back in the dark ages !
I believe that I was taught that all things being equal, that stranded wire would carry more current than solid wire ? Is that true or am I being misled ?

Also , I am sitting here ordering a 200 amp lithium battery and the proper charger , what do a shunt do and why do I need one ?. The battery is on the way , $ 600 bucks , wow , Boy I hope they do not quit social security until I get this paid for !
A shunt is a small resistance inserted in line with the load that allows a much smaller meter to indirectly read the load without the total current passing through the meter circuitry. The meter simply reads across the shunt and uses a calibrated multiplier for the reading.
