BFL13...Thanks for the great post!
This is how I have my Trimetric set up. EVERYTHING that is 12V has the negative going through the shunt and being read from the Trimetric...
But the Trimetric only reads the current (AMPS) flowing OUT of the battery.....I do not see a way to read the current going INTO the battery. This is what I want to monitor. For no other reason than I simply like to play wity this stuff and I'd like to have that info.
I've looked and looked and I can't find how to turn off the Trimetric's AH. Any help in this endeavor would be appreciated.
Thanks for all your help!
To get the solar included in the Trimetric , the neg from the controller to battery has to go across the Trimetric's shunt , same as the other items you have the Trimetric reading. Don't forget to turn off the Trimetric's auto AH reset if you have solar on there (see Trimetric instructions on that)
