Mkove MK75 Battery Monitor – Instruction Manual
Important Notes on Installation
• The shunt should be installed into either the positive or negative main battery cable. The shunt
carries all of the current flowing into or out of the battery - it is important that all connections and
cables are appropriately sized for the loads expected.
• To install the shunt cut either of the main battery cables and then install suitable lugs to attach the
cable to the larger connectors on the shunt.
• For the battery monitor to work as designed it must be able to measure all current flowing into or
out of the battery. It is important that any loads or charge sources are connected to the shunt and not
directly to the battery so that the shunt can measure all of the current flowing into or out of the
system.
• The battery monitor is aware of and includes calculations of it’s own current use. It should be the
only item connected directly to the battery. This allows the battery monitor to show a zero reading
when there are no other currents flowing into or out of the system.
• Aside from the heavy duty cables required to connect the shunt into the batteries main supply
cables, all other wires carry only very small, even minuscule, currents and can be as small as
required.
• If the battery monitor is not installed correctly the data that it shows will be inaccurate or
unusable.
