Battery monitor & shunt wiring

[Jack Daniels]

Getting ready to install the shunt and battery meter that came with the Extreme Team lithium battery, and was curious if anyone had any tips or a good diagram for install?

Looks like I will also need a couple of new wires, does anyone have a link to an easy kit that would work for this?

Did you get the thumb drive with your battery? There's a diagram on there. I originally installed mine, but took it out just to get rid of the clutter. My old voltage meter works with the battery and i use the app on my phone.

Have you had any problems with the battery shutting off? Mine does if i peg the gas pedal off a dead stop, immediately.

When you wired it up what cable did you use?

I haven't had any issues like that at all, but my cart also has stock motor and controller.

For the power wire i just grabbed a piece of like 20 ga or so from work. i got a new 2 ga made w/ 3/8 ring terminals to run from the shunt to the battery negative. I had all the other negatives going to the shunt, and positives going to the batt pos.

There are two pics on their facebook page showing the shunt hooked up. I'm needing to install my as well from my recent 48/100 purchase.

The ExtremeTeam might sell a kit for that. If not, you just need to find someone to make you a 2 ga short piece of wire with ring terminals on each end. For the smaller wires, I would use 12-14ga and you can pick that up anywhere along with ring terminals to crimp on the ends.
