Sorry for the late reply. Sounds good, just: 1. Charge the batts as fully as poss 2. Reset amp hour counter 3. Use batts until 50% reached on Smartguage (without further charge eg from solar) 4. Available capacity will be 2x what the amp hour reads. Without a Smartguage, a ballpark figure could still be arrived at using the batts 'resting voltage' but it's a lot more hassle. Many thanks. I will give it a go a couple of times, and use the figure to feed back into the battery monitor. Cheers Just be aware that on a new setup SmartGauge needs a few cycles to 'get to know' the bank. Because you may well have temporarily disconnected the SmartGauge while connecting the shunt it will need to start again. Also note that SmartGauge is the one exception to the rule that everything must be wired to the 'far side' of the shunt. SmartGauge MUST be connected directly to the batteries. It is the only thing that should be.
