Smart shunt install in parallel

Is my setup correct for 2 lead acid batteries wired in parallel for smart shunt 500? Does it matter which battery Vbatt positive is connected to? Thanks for your input.

Your shunt is wired correctly. Connect positive to either battery.

Do you have a connection between negative and chassis. If not then no worry. If you do then this should be on the load/system side of the shunt.
