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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Product is a great tool for keeping tabs on batteries in my rv, and at a very competitive price. Only complaint or suggestion - different mounting options. Product is flush/inset mount only. Wouldn't be difficult to also include an adapter/bezel for flat mounting. Can't imagine that everyone has a thin hollow panel that they can mount in. I mounted flat on wall, had to get creative.

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.

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!

The tabs are cheap and will break easily. Also, an additional heavy wire is needed between negative battery terminal and shunt- it’s not supplied.

I really like the visual presentation and information provided on this monitor. So much better than the other brands out there. Easy to install. The unit pulses while charging which could be annoying, but it also gives you quick feedback if your panels (or whatever) are adding charge to the battery. Plenty of cable length was provided for the monitor so you can be flexible on where to mount it.

Works Well

l'm glad that I bought this to monitor my batteries. It was easy to install, setup, and use. I have 4 100 ah Renogy AGM batteries in my van that needed monitoring. The only problem I had was finding room in my electrical panel to install the shunt, but thats my fault. My only complaint is the manual that does a poor job of illustrating the setup and wire connections. It shows numbers that refer to nothing, so very confusing. But I was able to figure it out and get it all connected. I recommend the product.
