Yes, there are two distinct shunts and appear to be wired correctly since I do get different readings when charging at a high currrent rate. I am using a normal 1-2-all-off switch and if I disconnect one, the current flows at about 2x the rate in/out of the disconnected one.
I actually have a second switch that lets me independently switch the load from one battery to the other. The first switch selects the charger (inverter) between batteries. I don't believe there are any wires other than the wires to the Link 2000 that run from the negative battery posts. I've looked before but I'll have to look again to be sure. Jim.
