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'd put a on/off/on toggle switch at the current location so only one is in the system. You could switch back and forth to check accuracy of the new one...
Or for $10.33 you can buy a shunt and digital V/A meter like what I installed when I put in a home refer here.
It would be fairly easy to mount a new shunt just for the alternator output, if you can use this on a +15 volt output of the alternator. Some electric meters will rely on a grounded shunt, not able to put it inline with the 12 volt output line on the alternator.
Just a thought?
