installing Bogart Trimetric Question
This is going into a Slide-in Truck camper. Two 27 series AGM batteries. 45 amp on board charger, solar will be between 200-280 watt (installed at a later date). I do have a Honda Generator as well...

Hi,
I have a 500 amp shunt with a 0.050 volt drop at 500 amps, so the voltage drop is insignificant at 100 amps, or 0.10 volts, or only a fraction of one volt while at the normal 5 - 20 amp load in your camper..
Just because it is rated at 500 amps does not mean your battery can supply that many amps, or that you might ever use that many, just that the shunt will not melt at 400+ amp load going through it!
I would recommend the 500 amp shunt, as you 'might' go over 100 amps from time to time.
Good luck,
Fred.
