Great performance and looks good

I purchased this in association with the purchase of a AGM battery for my travel trailer. This battery monitor displays all the information needed to ensure your battery is operating at peak performance and also to protect it from damage from over, or under charging. You can tell at a glance the condition of your battery and its discharge rate and/or charging status. Compact size but the LCD has large bright display and easy to read. A feature of this display that I don’t particularly like but have come to easily accept is when the battery is being charged, for some reason they designed the display to pulsate from bright to dim then back to bright again. This continues for as long as the battery is charging. The only other thing I found is I wish the outer edges of the monitor itself had a larger “lip” around it. Meaning that when you cut out the hole in the place you want to mount it, you must be very precise on cutting the dimension of the part of the monitor that will recess into the hole. If you are a little sloppy in cutting the hole the outer edges of the monitor aren’t big enough to cover the sloppiness of the cut. Other than those two items I mentioned, this monitor and associated shunt is quality built. Not that I have it installed I’m every pleased with its performance. It also looks good mounted next to the other switches and stuff that I have in the trailer.

Excellent value! Just got it, but so far, so good. A battery temperature sensor would be awesome, however I realize that addition would jack up the price.
As an added feature, perhaps future software updates would allow manually entering the ambient temperature?
Thanks for a great product!

Straightforward installation, works totally as advertised. Great replacement for the sputtering ap-based bluetooth software which, well, don't get me started. Just don't. Monitor backlight can be turned off. Very nice feature. 5 stars on this one.

Easy to install and works as described. I still have confusion on how to set my total Ah since my batteries are 3 years old, but that’s my issue to figure out.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Battery Monitor

Bought this monitor to keep track of my 2 new 100 amp hr gel batteries. So far, seems to work OK, but I am disappointed at the instructions provided. I have watched the video on Renogy's web site and that doesn't help either. Explanation of the setting and there functions are lacking.
I would recommend this to a friend!
