I am not an electrician.
I have a bluetooth battery monitor (NASA BM1 BT) that I would like wired in. Thanks Richard n Ann !
I have two 12v leisure batteries and an inverter. The batteries are connected red to red and black to black.
The inverter takes its power via leads to battery A and everything else takes its power from battery B - although as already mentioned they are connected anyway.
Is it best practice to take all the power via (say) battery B as all the negatives have to go through a shunt? Can I take the inverter negative from the shunt??
Does it really matter how the positives are connected, can that come from either battery?
When making changes, what do I need to isolate, what sparks can I expect, do I unplug the solar panel etc? Any hints and tips gratefully received. I suspect, get a professional to do it will be the most sensible!
