BMV-700 Battery Management Meter Install!!

Where did you eventually put your shunt Stoner99? Where I recommended or somewhere else? How about some pictures?

I haven't permanently mounted it yet (don't judge me!) So right now it fit perfectly in between the battery and controller panel. I am probably gonna mount it directly to the controller panel somewhere to the left of the tow switch. As long as I can find out I have a little room on the back side of the panel. Im just waiting to get a shorter battery cable made up. The on I have now is just winded down in the battery box and I don't like that. I want it mounted solid so no chance of it possibly getting shorted out. (if that's possible, I don't even know��)

You definitely do not want it to ground to your frame as that could be a hazard on an electric golf cart.....

But it should be good to bolt it to the controller cover correct? I'd like to get some of those terminal covers to prevent accidental shortages.

Oh no, I did not mean you could not bolt it to the frame, I meant leaving it hanging you did not want it to accidentally turn over or lean and then create a ground to the frame....

I just bolted mine to the body under the seat next to the controller.

Anyway I could get a bigger view to see exactly where that is in the compartment? Thanks

Behind your legs, under the seat hinge, passenger side.

I had recommended bolting it to the top of the OBC/controller cover above and to the side of the Run/Tow switch. The cover needs to be opened to see exactly where to drill the holes for the bolts so that they don't hit anything. I am planning to put mine there but have yet to get another short battery cable to go from the shunt to the neg terminal. I'll do some pictures when it's done.

That's exactly where I'm gonna mount mine as well
