Seems that is the only way to get one that will work for more than 2 months. I am not an electronics whiz, but the instructions are clear. maybe we can compare notes if you build one. Watt.

Hi Watt! Click on the link above, it's from eBay. Ah, what the heck, here it is again
:
Round 300A Analog AMP Panel Meter Gauge + Shunt - eBay (item 250517706986 end time Oct-28-09 06:31:39 PDT)
I get most of my stuff there because I sell stuff from the ICE. I think it measures battery amps or motor amps depending on where you put it, but I haven't researched it yet. I have no idea! I think I want it right after the contactor but before the controller, and I think that's battery amps(Where's the "shrug" smilie???). Sorry to hear about your Kelly. I'd love to compare notes, but I have read the instructions about 4 times and it scares the pants off me!!
I anticipate many burns. I used a hammer crimper today and guess what? Yup, hammered my hand REAL good
. I think I would make a good slapstick comedian.
