    Smart Shunt Wiring

    I want to make sure I understand the correct wiring of 2 charge sources for one battery bank monitored by one shunt. My apologies for the crude drawing.

    LVX6048 back to grid or battery setting

    I just swapped out my LV6048 for an LVX6048 because voltage would sag badly when my 2.5 ton heat pump turned on, even with a soft start. this would cause other things in the house that are on the same critical loads panel to shutoff (tv, pc etc ). Anyway, not the purpose of this question...
