Thanks smkettner! I thought about it last night and was thinking about putting the disconnect on the positive side and keeping the shunt on the neg. Any issue with that? By the way why you reverse the position of the disconnect and shunt?
Having the disconnect on the negative is actually safer when physically disconnecting the batteries since the negative terminal should be taken off first and connected last.
The shunt can be before or after the switch, it is just a low ohm series resistance, so it will not produce any voltage across it when disconnected.
