Starter battery monitoring

In addition to the comprehensive monitoring of the main battery
system, the BMV-602S also provides basic monitoring of a second
voltage input. This is useful for systems such as those with a separate
starter battery. Unless otherwise indicated, all values and settings
described in this manual refer to the main battery system.
1.4.2

Use of alternative shunts

The BMV is supplied with a 500 A/50 mV shunt. For most applications,
this should be suitable; however the BMV can be configured to work
with a wide range of different shunts. Shunts of up to 9999 A, and/or
100 mV can be used.
