I think that double measuring and shorting shunts is the way to get really high dynamic range.

Dave did a review of device designed to this in EEVBlog 1304. Look at 31:00 mins plus. There are multiple shunts and a pair of shorting MOSFETs.

Quitech Otti USB power measurement and battery analyser: https://www.qoitech.com/

The question is how good do you need to be?

they seem to have used some opamps that look quite neet https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/14901afd.pdf but actually have 100µV offset to the 3µV of the LTC6102
Jay_Diddy_B:
Hi,

You live with a large offset if you have a large signal. I think that there are three shunts in the Qoitech device:



One is 1 \$\Omega\$
Another is 22 \$\Omega\$
I suspect that the third one is a low value.

- but there are ready-made manufactured 5 Amps 5 digit ammeters?
Look here.
Simon:
You want me to trust something off ebay? I know I said I did not need it highly accurate but I did say it needs to be repeatable. What if those things drift?
Vovk_Z:
It is more repeatable than you can make at home.
