I took a look at the diagram (pdf) and if I understand the function of the "emeter"
correctly as summing up the charge, discharge to
the batteries, and providing a %of capacity available, then the box labeled emeter is
in the wrong place.... If I read the diagram
correctly, all of the charge sources go directly to the battery and the emeter is only
looking at the load side (150 amp buss)
I think the emeter shunt needs to be in the lead to the battery so that all current
that involves the battery ( charge or discharge)
goes through the shunt....
If I misread something or you have this covered some other way... sorry....
