1 more question I'm putting a marine battery disconnect switch in do I wire it before catastrophic fuse or after also putting in ÷ & - busbars. I'll shoot some pictures when I start.



From the positive post of the battery pack connect to your catastrophic fuse then onto your positive bus bar. From your negative post of your battery pack run to your shunt and then to your negative bus bar. Keep these runs as short as possible and be sure not to use high resistant connections. Take your time and try to trim, crimp and insulate all connections correctly. Also keep your inverter connections to your bus bars as short as possible. I shot for three feet total with my layout but wound up with 3.5'.
