One 50Mv 500A shunt, two ammeters?
I've already got a Deltec 500a 50Mv shunt wired into my system for my battery monitor. The issue is I have a desire to see alternator charging amps when driving and my battery monitor is not safely...

I'm not concerned about accuracy under 2 amps.
I should not have bothered pointing out that my 100 amp project meter was inaccurate under 2 amps.
All I care about is whether 2 50Mv Ammeters can be hooked to one 50Mv 500 amps Shunt, which is already in place for my battery monitor, and which does accurately read currents under 2 amps.
But since there does not appear to be an inexpensive 100 amp ammeter that uses a 50Mv shunt.........
If I could have an inexpensive dashboard digital ammeter without wiring up another shunt, great, If I can't, I'm not going to have a hissy fit.
If two different meters cannot use the same shunt, I was hoping to learn why, and further my understanding of things electrical.
