Almot, the benefit of reading the shunt is the controller now knows how much current is output from the controller (e.g. 6 amps) and how much is accepted by the battery, perhaps only 3 with the other 3 going to house loads.

Currently my Rogue only knows the current it's putting out, and so will stay in "absorb" mode when other draws are present, normally until the timer forces it off. Unfortunately the timer appears to have died in mine.
