Worked great as soon as I got it installed.
I do however wish it had a mounted shunt.

Exactly as advertised. Works very well. It took a little to figure out. I’m sure the instructions were complete but I lacked understanding some of them. Once it was connected, it worked as expected!

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!

Great! A must buy. I can see what is happening to my battery in my Camper as it is discharging to see how much time I have left at the power consumption rate and as a bonus it goes in the opposite direction showing how much time it will take to recharge the battery to full when using ac, solar power or connected by seven pin to the vehicle.

Works great!
Be sure to connect all negative device and chassis ground wires to P- side of the shunt. Only the battery negative wires should connect to the B- side.

Only complaint is the flashing backlight whenever the battery is charging, including float mode when the trickle charge is active. The backlight can be turned off completely. There are arrows that point up or down depending on whether charging or discharging. The mounting style is cheap and uses simple tabs that snap into the opening.
The shunt is rated 75mV @500A. I have another Amp meter (made for a 75mV @500A external shunt) attached to the same shunt, instead of installing a 2nd shunt which would cause more voltage drop. Attaching a parallel Amp meter will ONLY work if it's designed to use an external shunt rated for 75mV @500A. I protected the shunt inside heavy clear heat shrink.
Be sure to set the High V - full voltage, to the absorption setting of the charger. I'm using this meter with Qty 5, 13V 100Ah LiFePO4 batteries. The batteries are fully charged almost exactly when the battery voltage reaches the absorption setting of 14.4V and the meter resets to 100% (if not already displaying 100% during the charge cycle).

For the first pass this monitor is a good product. I do have a couple of items that need some attention. First, it would be nice if the shunt was able to be mounted and Second, once the monitor has been installed and configured it doesn't seem to light up all the time when trying to view when it is dark.
