Dawg: the monitor you pointed to on Amazon. I'm trying to wrap my head around what I see in the pictures. Lower in the description, it states it includes:
1 x Battery monitor -- the round part with numbers & buttons to change reading
1 x Current sampler -- this is the 2 nuts & bolts, with a circuit board attached between them?
1 x 2 meters long cable -- is this the cable from the middle of the nut&bolt unit to the round monitor?
1 x English operation manual
And then any cables to and from the battery (per their wiring diagram) I provide myself. Right? (That's why you included the link to suggested cables.)
Ok -- if I've got that interpreted correctly -- does the nuts&bolts unit need to mount or sit on something? Or just float between its wires? (8G is probably stiff enough to hold them in mid air) Does it need electrical shielding?

Also, I see that the cheaper (but lower amperage) 10A Fast Lithium Charger (LiFePO4) that's listed on the AmpedOutdoors site is out of stock. Any idea if they normally stock it? I'd just as soon get that one, since it's guaranteed to be compatible, it's cheaper, and since I'm never in a hurry to charge. Plus, they sell it even cheaper when it's bundled WITH the battery. I'll ask THEM if you don't know, off hand. How fast does your unit charge this battery, if you've tested it yet?
