Hi everyone! First post, but I need some help!
I'm in the process of converting a 2010 Freightliner Sprinter, and have got almost all of the electrical done. I'm running into issues with wiring the Renogy DCC50S alternator wiring to the van's starter battery. The negative post on the starter battery does not have an easy way for me to attach the negative wire for the common ground to the DCC50S. Since the battery is grounded to the chassis as well, do I need to run the negative wire directly to the starter battery? The manual says I can connect directly to the chassis, but I also have a shunt in place for my battery monitor.
I guess my question is in two parts:
Thanks in advance for the help!

I guess my question is in two parts:
- Will skipping the negative wire to the starter battery cause any problems?
- If no problems will arise, will my battery monitor still be accurate, since not all circuits are grounded through it?
Thanks in advance for the help!
