Shunt Wiring

Hi All -
Wiring a shunt into my system for proper monitoring and have a quick question. Do I need to with both the battery Negative to and from the inverter and the Battery Negative from the charge controller to both run across the shunt for proper readings ? Thanks

If you connect any loads to the "battery side" of the shunt, those loads will be "invisible" to the shunt and battery SoC will be much less accurate.

WbJr and any other monitor sense wires go via small wires to the small bolts.
The big bolts carry full current in/out of the bank. Sense currents and voltages are tiny, and go to the small bolts. For sense devices, refer to wiring instructions for the particular device on how to wire the sense & power connections for that device.
