Any draw from the battery is reflected as negative amp-hours or 0.4Ah and recharging will bring the number back to 0Ah.

A full battery is displayed as zero amp-hours or 0Ah. During charging, the battery monitor will compensate for charging efficiency and count back up toward zero.

Attached is an instructional PDF that I just received from Furrion and the video linked above still applies. The battery monitor will show -10 in the Ah display. You can stand there and visibly measure how much water is exiting the dam and you can control how much by opening the floodgate. Here is a link to a Will Prowse video on what I believe is this 40 rebranded Battery Monitor. The shunt is the spillway at the bottom of the embankment. another project during the Autumn of 2013. The battery balancer was designed and produced in. controller that would command the circuits. The solution would consist of a separate battery balancer board, battery monitor board and a. It’s a minor difference and probably not necessary for our crude RV battery systems, but if you want the most accurate reading, that will do it. The original project task was to create a battery balancer solution for the batteries in an electric car. Voltage is measured between the the positive and negative terminals on the battery as it’s a measure of total electrical potential within the battery - reading it across both batteries is a little more accurate than reading from one battery as there will be a slight voltage drop across the parallel jumper the two batteries are connected with. The current is measured at the shunt between the battery and load connector as electrons move from the battery connector to the load connector - the positive lead isn’t necessarily used in that measurement besides providing energy for the monitor to operate itself. The positive lead should really be connected to the opposite battery’s positive lead as this is how it measures voltage.

You should be able to just move it over from the battery terminal to the load connector on the shunt if you mount the shunt in the battery bay. The load side of the shunt is connected to your coach negative lead. When RVing off-grid with solar it’s critical to have accurate data about the status of your battery bank such as: The State-Of-Charge (SOC) as a percentage available (e.g. I used a crushed/flattened copper pipe with holes I drilled in it as the connection. A battery monitoring system functions like a fuel gauge for your RV’s battery bank. The battery terminal of the shunt should be connected directly, and as physically close to the negative battery terminal on battery 1 as possible with a very large conductor. So you have to have both connections in a circuit (it actually flows literally the opposite way but our conventions were already established by the time we discovered this).
