Yea, I always thought the PD should seek 14.4 or 14.6 while charging - which is why I wonder if it's working properly. But then, it may be that the monitor is reading the actual charge on the battery (?) not what's going in? As I'm new to this Trimetric - I'm not sure which it is. Will have to call them on Monday.
I'm sure the shunt is wired correctly, as I have no other cables on the house batteries except the ground - which is now on one side of the shunt, with the other side 'grounded' back to the batttery. In other words - there's no other way to wire it!
As for the engine ground? I have no idea.
Appreciate your time!
