Patrick,

Fans and head lights on; approximately 30 amps with the shunt removed and approximately 10 amps with the shunt attached.

On a short road trip with the shunt installed. The ammeter stayed in a very small discharge for 40 miles (a few amps). I stopped and unhooked one end and the ammeter went the 40+ amps for several minutes. That tells me the battery was really discharging. I didn't have a voltmeter with me to check.

John
