How is a shunt-based battery gauge effected by heating during a charge cycle?


A shunt-based gauge is not able to differentiate between heating amps and charging amps. Because some of the amps were diverted to heating and did not contribute to charging the gauge may read 100% before charging ends. Please allow your charger to complete its cycle even if the gauge reads full.
