Re: Stus-List Battery monitor shunt location

Hi Josh, You're spot-on with your recommendations on the electrical work. Really appreciate the links to bona-fide vendors and equipment. That Blue-Sea fuse holder is really nice! Sadly, the stuff at the top of my current list falls into the category of impending failure. Ha! Just finished a comp

Re: Stus-List Battery monitor shunt location

Hey Tim, You may have already identified these observations. If so disregard. If not, here are a few things to add to what I'm sure is the ever growing list of repairs which all boats and owners have. - The typical post style battery cables which you have appear to be automotive grade. The ins

Re: Stus-List Battery monitor shunt location

Hi Brad, Here are photos from my shunt installed on the forward bulkhead as you mentioned as well as the general arrangement in the compartment. Question: Does your setup have three batteries and if so what are their sizes and locations? I would like to add a third battery and I'm not sure where

Re: Stus-List Battery monitor shunt location

Slightly off-topic but battery monitor related, after sailing off Croatia last summer I decided to buy one of these No support in the U.S. but I’m always up for something new. I replaced my Link 20 with this unit. It

Re: Stus-List Battery monitor shunt location

Edd, As you mentioned the load is so small. I believe that it is insignificant to justify the cost and time of adding even just a simple switch. That being said, like nearly all electronic devices, the Link2000 has a power supply (+ and -). Put a switch in line with the + and presto you have a

Re: Stus-List Battery monitor shunt location

All, I’ve been following this thread as my PO-installed Link 2000 just isn’t working great and I’m considering a replacement. Perhaps I’m weird in this regard, but I’m not a fan of having any kind of load on the batteries overnight when I leave the boat. And I know these monitors have a const

Re: Stus-List Battery monitor shunt location

On my 34, a couple years ago I rewired my batteries, starter, alternator, installed a Victron BMV-702s, blue sea switch and ACR, plus some bars and breakers. I wanted a location that was near to the batteries, engine room, and fuse panel. The batteries were under the quarter birth so I installed

Re: Stus-List Battery monitor shunt location

We recently installed one on a 34. We mounted it in the engine room where other electronic items, wires, etc. are and there is also a large ground busbar there to make it easy to connect things in an orderly fashion. The house batteries are about 2 feet away under the quarter berth. The star

Re: Stus-List Battery monitor shunt location

The shunt should always be installed on the ground as near to the battery terminal as possible. NO OTHER connections should be attached to the terminal. ALL LOADS need to be attached to shunt (the side of the shunt that is not attached to the battery terminal). All this being said, there is no g
