I have been trying to get this working properly and I'm having trouble.
I have 2 Leoch 224AH 6 volt batteries connected in series and I have installed the LNEX (similar to Renogy) shunt per the instructions (I think - PIC attached). In the pic I have the B- side of the shunt connected to the NEG terminal of the RH battery and the small red power wire connected to the POS terminal of the LH battery (you'll notice the LH NEG is connected to the RH POS). This is now where I'm getting confused - the NEG cable that was previoulsy connected to the NEG terminal on the RH battery is now connected to the other side of the shunt - which you can just see to the left of the small green connector on the shunt). Confusion is that the installation manual shows this connection from the shunt running to a Bus Bar which is then connected to an Inverter and a Charger (I don't have an Inverter but do have a Converter/Charger).
I get power and Monitor lights up, but
PROBLEM: The monitor shows 100% and 224AH, then maybe 99% and 223AH and then jumps to 0 - on both!
Also - the current draw doesn't make sense - in the PIC you'll notice that I'm using 81.1 Watts with a current draw of 6.48 Amps?? Shouldn't that be more like .648 Amps?
I know my batteries are still charged because everything continues to work.
Any help?
