Can someone point me in the direction of where I can find out what bit number a/d converter is used in the BMV shunt? I hear rumors that it's a 12-bit converter, but I can't find any real info.

In other words, I want to know exactly how accurate these shunts are. Yes I know it’s supposed to be accurate to +-0.4%, with a resolution of 0.1, but how fine does the analog to digital converter do it’s sampling? If it’s a 12 bit converter, it will have 4096 samples, which gives a 122mA per sample. Does that sound correct to anyone? Or do they use a different kind of A/D converter?
The BMV uses a very nice MSP430 with 24bit Sigma-Delta ADCs.
