I'm new to my 2019 C-242 with the Lithium package. I have four Dakotas 100/AH batteries and two wet cell for starter and house. Belmar gauge worked fine but after two weeks it failed and required replacement. I had no opportunity to review the previous settings. Following the directions I selected LiFPO for batteries and 400/AH for current. Everything seems to work fine I think? although I have no SOH at this point in time. With the inverter off and only running start and house batteries I'm pulling small amount of current from chartplotter, radio & fridge according to Belmar gauge. I was told by the previous owner the Belmar gauge only indicated current from the lithium package. This doesn't seem to be the case which drives me to ask the following question. Does the factory installed shunt read current from all six batteries? If so how should I configure the Balmar gauge?
