I wanted to know how to connect 2 batteries to the battery monitor. And after I connect them how to read each battery. After this I wanted to know how to input battery information (AH, and Capacity…. My boat has a simple spring loaded switch … rest on all, toggle to battery 1 and toggle back to battery 2 … let go and it reads both…
Still how would this monitor read “Both” and what would be the monitor inputs to be accurate.

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.

Great product, easy to install, worked first time! This BMS is exactly what I needed to monitor 3 separate 12v 100ah lithium batteries in series.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Some good, some cheap

The shunt itself is mostly great. Beefy bolts and plastic body for the negative connection. The battery positive wire/connection is a complete joke. It's a tiny 20 gauge wire that is 2 feet long with a cheap circle connection on one end and a soldered end on the other. The connections on the shunt for battery positive are so tiny, I had to cut off the soldered end and run the straight wire. Also, be sure to have a tiny screw driver used for glasses repair just to connect battery positive to the shunt. Please fix these stupid issues as most people won't even have the micro screw driver to connect this wire. Use some sturdier parts, I feel like I'm going to break that wire everytime I'm working around the positive terminal.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A great way to track Amp Hours available!

For what it’s worth, I set my user inputs slightly different from what is called out in the manual. I have three Trojan Solar SAGM 12 Volt 135 Amp hour batteries connected in parallel thus giving an available 405Ah. Since I only want to use 50% of the Ah for battery longevity, I assumed a capacity of 202.5Ah. So, I entered CAP=202.5 Ah, High V=14.4 Volts (max absorption per Trojan), Low V=12.1 Volts (50% Volts under load per Trojan vs. 12.2V no-load), and Alarm=0.0Ah. Although I have not used 50% yet, by setting it up this way, the calculated/displayed hours of remaining available safe power displayed is closer to reality vs setting CAP= 405Ah and Alarm=202.5Ah.
