Dan,

I put two JPI Slimline ammeters in = my dual bus ES, with a switch to select either bus voltage or current. I put the = shunts between the bus and the batteries, so the ammeters indicate either = positive (charge) current or negative (discharge) current. You can mount the = shunts between the alternator and the bus so it will read alternator output = current. It’s all in what you want to see.
