I've built my own little solar generator/storage system using a small Lion Energy LiFePo4 25Ah battery.
https://diysolarforum.com/threads/diy-solar-power-pack.8847/
There's a battery monitor installed that seems to be discharging my battery (the battery holds a charge when disconnected but discharges when connected). I'm considering adding a disconnect switch to the monitor and wondering about where I should install such a switch?
If I put a basic single pole single throw switch inline on the negative battery connection side of the shunt will that provide the proper switching to keep my monitor working and still be able to disconnect from the battery when not in use?
