Ok I’m bring this to the professionals. I recently purchased the LiTime 14.6/80 amp charger I thought this would be a great addition for cloudy days and after watching numerous YouTube videos it seemed very user friendly. So I have tried this on shore power plus generator and I have 2/200 amp lifepo4 battery’s wired in parallel. I purposely ran down my batteries to 10% to see how fast they would recharge with this charger. Powering it with the generator predator 5000 it is putting out 61 amps by my amp probe on the red wire. Wires are warm and Predator gauge shows 16.4 amps and right at 1875 watts. So I feel like it’s charging but I go inside and check my Renogy shunt and it dosent show 61 amps it barely shows anything even after running 4 hours battery voltage separately was 13.35 and 13.37 but my shunt displays 13.3 and 6% state of charge. Idk where my amps are going too. Attached are some pictures. What ever you guys think will be greatly appreciated. I have switch all my stuff to victron and if y’all think it’s the shunt I’ll switch it too.

I’m such a goober. I know better than that sometimes I get so much going forgetting the good old basics. That was it VME you got me right back on track. You are much appreciated. So nice to have a forum that responds like this one. I sent LiTime a email yesterday heard back today but I got the out of the office message.
