No, the SiteMonitor shunt input is ±100mV nominal.

Would these work on a SiteMonitor? They output 1-5V DC based on
current flowing through.

Yeah, about that. I wouldn't use those on 12VDC systems. Too much
current. I've burned up a couple of the 10A shunts on Traco BCMUs
that were running around 200W load on battery. 200/13 = 15 amps.
Ungood. One site at about 225W, first time it went to battery, the
shunt went kaput after 10-15 minutes and the site went down.
I'm hoping Forrest comes up with some Hall effect stuff or even plain
20+ amp shunts that can be used on the SiteMonitor's existing 100mv
input. Hall effect is nice because you don't have to be "in" the
circuit. But I'll take what I can get.

I think Forrest has them on his site with the site monitors.

Parallel. Site Monitor! Now where can I get a shunt?

4 batts in series or parallel?
Shunt + sitemonitor would be a better way to go and you don’t
have to write code.

Hey all,
I am getting away from using APC at a couple of our sites and
right now I have installed a Tripp-Lite APS750 connected to 4
Deep cycle marine batteries for a total of 404 aH system. I'd
like to be able to monitor the discharge rate of the batteries
when power is out remotely. What have you guys been doing to
that effect?
I'm thinking a Pi and a shunt and some quick scripting classes
on Python to put it all together...
