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...

The Trimetric is generally used with 2 shunts (other shunts can also be used):
1. 500A/50mv Maximum recommended continuous current: 410 Amps.
2. 100A/100mv Maximum recommended continuous current: 70 Amps.
The Trimetric defaults to the 500A shunt and needs to be programmed for a 100A shunt.
And the shunt becomes a fuse when there is a short? :@ Better than the alternative. :C
My shunt is mounted directly on the AGM batteries with a copper bar. The cable connected directly on the battery post is for a parallel battery. This setup would not be recommended for flooded batteries due to their corrosive vapors.
