No amp reading on bmv700

I have 3 domestic batteries and one engine battery. I assume all negatives go to the shut? The voltage goes down to 12.1 v yet the bmv says 100% and infinity time remaining. Any clues? Thanks

The BMV can only monitor the State Of Charge of ONE battery / battery bank.

So the shunt should be positioned / connected to the negative terminal(s) of that battery / battery bank only to properly monitor all current flowing into & out of it.

You may need 2 battery monitors for your setup to monitor SOC on both batteries / battery banks.
