You can eliminate the shunt and use a hall effect instead. This is basically a small coil, thru which the wire passes and measures the current flow. I plan on using one on the feed to the main bus. This will tell me the amount of amps I am using. If I lose the main alt, I can refer to it to load-shed to get under the 20 amps the stby alt can carry, without discharging the battery. Grand Rapids sells the hall effect, as does Spruce. I have one on back order from Spruce. The hall effect works on the Dynon EMS, as well as just about any other electronic EMS system. You could also have a second one that monitors the battery charge/ discharge, but I don't think that's necessary with a dual alternator setup.
