I wanted a method to attach the SmartShunt directly to a 120Ah battery.
The main issue I faced was the large 10MM bolts on the shunt. The battery terminal was 8mm, and the accessories I connected were also 8mm, rather than a bunch of very short cables or cutting off the 8mm lugs and fitting 10mm ones.
I created this shield that fits snuggly over the SmartShunt and used a copper bar as the conductor, which is folded and has holes to attach to the Shunt, allowing an 8mm bolt to be used as a post on one end and an 8mm bolt to connect to the negative terminal.
I also created a cover for the entire shield with cutouts for the accessory attachment, given the danger of creating a short by touching the exposed conducted and bolts. On my battery, I also had a small 1.5mm gap, which I created a small right angle adapter, which I glued onto the shield and then attached with double-sided tape.
Not shown in the photos is that I used cable ties to keep the cover attached. Also, I printed the shield on its side and used organic supports. The cover and bracket are printed with the top on the plate and require no support.
Parts Required
- 1x 8mm 25mm Bolt for Terminal attachment (or length as required)
- 1x 8mm 35mm Bolt for Accessory Post
- 2x 8mm Spring Washer
- 2x 8mm Flat Washer
- 200mm Flat Copper Bar (1.5mm x 20mm)
Instructions to Fold Conductors
- Cut the flat bar into two 90mm lengths
- Mark and square a line at 30mm on one end.
- Clamp in a vice with a steel plate at the front and bend forward.
- Mark and square a line at 35mm on the other end.
- clamp in a vice with the first bend forward and the steel plate at the back,
- Bend backward.
Drilling Holes in Conductors
- Use the Shield as a template to mark the holes.
- I choose to increase the diameter of the holes by 1MM. So the 8mm holes are drilled at 9mm and the 10mm holes at 11mm.
- The conductors need to be clamped securely while drilling. They can quickly come loose and bend from the drill's torque (I speak from experience).
