    Bolt Shunt & Disconnect Directly to Lynx?

    Depending on the size of the bolt on your switch, you probably could make a direct connection. However, I believe the bolt size on the switch is quite large and you'd most likely have to expand the hole on the Lynx (aka drill it out) which I personally would be reluctant to do because of...

    Unexplained Parasitic Amp Loss

    Problem Solved! I must have toasted my shunt during my battery build out. The replacement shunt is now showing 0.00 Amps being drawn and the batteries are behaving as they should be. Thanks everyone for helping me figure this out. All of your suggestions were very helpful and I've learned a ton.

    Unexplained Parasitic Amp Loss

    Thanks for the response. I am preparing to re-do the top balance. They have been sitting for about 7 weeks and I've just been procrastinating. There are a couple of clean up items I need to do, which involves pulling my battery box. RE: charging "switch"... That's something else to check. Thanks.

    Unexplained Parasitic Amp Loss

    Hello. I am new to DIY solar forum. This is my first question. Through hours (months actually) of searching, reading and youtube videos, I have finally built my system and it appears functioning, but I have a parasitic -2.8 amp loss in my system that I just cannot seem to account for. I am able...
