What is the fun in that...

But what if working is putting rackinjectors in boxes so I can actually get
back to engineering solutions for this type of stuff?

But you can use a voltage divider to convert the 0-5 volt to 0-.1 volt.
Two resistors.

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...
