Wiring te load on AiLi battery monitor
I just got an AiLi monitor and am wondering if I can wire the shunt between the battery and converter, at the converter? It would make placing the meter a lot easier.
Forum Discussion
The neg path from battery to converter/DC panel might be mostly frame, so you will need a real wire from the shunt to the battery however long it has to be. (and it has to have the ampacity to carry the total amps of all the 12v loads--not easy to make that long wire that fat)
That answers that, I actually have quite a bit of number 2 cable, might be bigger, but the idea of running that under the frame does not appeal very much. I'll break down and buy the extension cable from the OEM for the meter. Thanks for the helpful replies. Next week starts electrical work week on the RV...heh. Assuming I get mechanical work done before then.
