The battery monitor shows the following;
TV runs about 1A
Fantastic Fan on low, 1A
2 LED lights show .32A
Everything off except detectors, refrig on LP, phantom draws, etc show about .10A to .12A draw.
A typical day might be an hour on the TV, 3-4 hours on the fan, and 2 LED lights for about 4 hours. Of course the refrig on LP and detectors on 24x7.
Meter shunt is installed directly on the negative post of the battery, as the instructions dictated, diagram below.
Fred, I plan on solar down the road, but solar does nothing regarding total capacity which is what I’m trying to address. Once I get this resolved, I have two 100W panels planned for the RV. Although not as handy for me as they don’t work all that well in the shade, which is where I prefer to park for cooling reasons.
