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.

I ordered the meter extension cord, it's out for delivery right now. I'll put the shunt in the battery compartment. I have two banks of 6V, I assume I connect both negative leads to the shunt.
Do you mean you have two separate banks of 6s now and want to keep them separate? You would have to pick which one to monitor. If they are now in parallel, then there is still only the one wire from shunt to neg post.
If those two neg leads are to the frame, they might already be putting the two banks in parallel? What is the set-up?
If you have the two banks sharing all the loads and charging so it is assumed that each does half such as when an inverter has two pos and two neg wires from it, and one set goes to each bank, then I don't know how you would work the shunt in. Some converters have that arrangement too, where the two banks each are supposed to get half the charging amps
