Shunt question

The battery protect is effectively a smart switch. If it detects the battery voltage drops below some programmed value then it will open its switch thereby turning off your DC loads. When the battery voltage gets higher again it will close its switch again and allow power to your DC loads again.

starter battery connection to shunt

The negative cable from the engine block goes to the load on the shunt AND the negative cable from the starter battery also connects to the load side of the shunt or directly to the engine block.
