The reason I bring it up is I did some research on this. It becomes more important when you hook up accessories to your vehicle such as a mobile rig to place your negative ground on that device on the right side of that shunt. Otherwise, the computer does not register the energy that's being siphoned out of your battery to go for an accessory that you added. And that can really confuse the system. In other words, it doesn't know really what the state of charge of the battery is or how much energy is in the battery because you're allowing energy to be taken out that's bypassing its monitoring capabilities. So I just bring that up because what they really recommend, it's not on the positive side. Shunt's are normally on the negative side and that's what the manufacturers have done. You should hook your negative lead, contrary to everything we always have done connecting both positive and negative.
