12v LiFePO mobile system. Currently, running an inverter and a fuseblock, fuseblock has 3 circuits.
I have a shunt, which I understand is to monitor battery metrics, primarly voltage and current. I guess I hadn't thought about it, but which circuit should it go on? They way the wiring diagam looks, its supposed to be injected into one of the negative wires from a load. I don't like the though of cutting my 2/0 inverter line to insert a shunt ... is it okay to put it on the fuse block negative. If I'm just using it to measure battery health/state, i.e. voltage, that seems fine. I guess the current measuring part is only going to tell me about my fuse block in this case.
