Starter current draw?

I’m going to install a Victron smart shunt and need to size it correctly. Do we know what our engine starter typically draws?

Thanks,

Ed

Hi Ed,

I asked AI, and here is the response…

I can’t vouch for the accuracy…

Thanks Bill. I’ll use these values to size the device, though I’d trust a direct measurement more. You’ve got to work with what you have.

Thanks again.
