That's good to hear. Sometimes these things need reprogramming with a 4lb hammer. Its fortunate that this was not one of them. Oh yes this near got the 4lb hammer treatment, but i resisted by banging ones head on the wall. I still think it need a fettle as it is not all that accurate when i tested it. I will give it a go this week if i get time. Good bit of kit for the price though once you know what your doing with it.

Thanks IanS for the link copy,i cant find it on the group. Just tried it, and it didn't work for me If you're a member of the group, on the group page, select "Files" from the menu on the left. This should bring up a list of links with the calibration one at the top, and the installation one second, followed by some other stuff.

This should bring up a list of links with the calibration one at the top, and the installation one second, followed by some other stuff. I believe you mite need to tryto calibrate a few times. Maybe i was lucky. Last night i fully chargedthe battery to 100% again to mak esure it was charged and tonight i checked it out. It shows near as dam exact draw from the battery, some are exact some are 0.1amp higher than the stated item. Propex 1.6amp draw as it should be, the Cabin is 12watt/1amp as it should be. The heads and berth lights show the 0.1amp higher mor ethan stated on the product. The galley does not show any reading which is it is only 3watt/0.25amp so to low to show a reading. So all happy here, just to read through for the DIS and CHG etc so i can see whats going on properly now. Not bad for £22 purchase

The charger when it is connected as it hanst been while testing this out, is connected to the battery. Remember to connect neg of charger to load side of shunt to avoid confusing it!

I will be hard wiring it in soon so i will do that dont know why it needs to be but i will lol. I thought then it would not show the charge going into the battery from the charger.

I thought then it would not show the charge going into the battery from the charger. Think about it this way. The cables are water hoses and the shunt a little water wheel and the battery is a bucket, the charger is a water tap. So in order for the charging water from the charger tap to be counted by the shunt water wheel as it fills the battery bucket it has to flow through the shunt water wheel on its way to the battery bucket. If it is on the wrong side of the shunt water wheel the water will flow straight into the battery bucket and not get counted by the shunt water wheel. Thus the shunt will not have measure the refill of the battery. Does that paint a better picture
