Hello to all the electrical gurus out there. I am a simpleton who needs some advice.
I'm currently working on the 12v/110v wiring for my trailer (HERE and I can't figure out how to wire up the following items.)
Victron BMV-712 w/ Shunt
Powermania M230 Dual shore power battery charger
Dual Odyssey Group 31 Batteries
All (-) has to pass through the 712's shunt in order to register it with the BMV so it can accuracy provide a % charged state of the batteries. I'll be running the Odyssey's in parallel so the negative cable connects to the shunt before the Inverter or the fuse panel, but what about the Powermania? It has 2 (+) and 2 (-) leads, one for each battery. If I connect these to each battery the BMV won't register the charge from the Powermania shore charger.
I know I have to combine both (-) powermania leads and feed them through the shunt, then on to the batteries in parallel. But what do I do with the (+) powermania leads. Should I combine them and run them into the first battery which is parallel connected to the second or should I put one powermania (+) lead on each battery?
Thanks guys!
