MB Current & Power too low. - chicagoandy - 12-17-2025

I have started using the MB battery monitor, but I see Current & Power readings are much lower than my Victron SmartShunt.

Kincony Current: 2.7 A
Victron Current : 5 A.

16A version of Kincony MB

I am using the YAML referenced here: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3975

Is there any tunings?   What is the expected accuracy of 16A MB ?


RE: MB Current & Power too low. - admin - 12-17-2025

the yaml file default use for 8A version. your 16A board, should replace with this line:

shunt_resistance: 0.01 ohm 

check the resistance on your PCB as my photo, replace the value, it should be 0.005 ohm
