Much needed meter for any camper who dry camps

Much needed meter for any camper who dry camps
Normal volt meters are not very useful in a camper because you have to disconnect the battery to and let it rest for an hour or so to get an accurate volt reading to see how much the battery is discharged. Not very practical. This product is an amp meter and actually measures how much energy is going in and out of the battery. After setting it up you tell it how many aH you batteries hold and once they are charged it will then measure how much energy leaves and comes back in to the battery. While it gives you the numbers a simple percentage display shows you much of what you need to know.Its also accurate enough that you can turn things on and off and see how many amps they pull which can help to troubleshoot issues or just giving you a good idea how much that light or furnace actually uses from your batteries.Installation is fairly easy. The shunt needs to go near your batteries and goes between the negative terminal on the battery and all negative cables from the camper. Everything has to run through the shunt to get an accurate reading. There is also a small red cable to run from the shunt to the positive terminal of the battery. The small meter gets installed inside somewhere and there is a small phone type cable which runs from the shunt to the meter.The shunt is the only negative thing of the whole kit. There are some electronics on it so it needs to stay try. For most campers the batteries are outside in a battery box which may not be 100% water proof. I made it work but I'd like to see a version of the shunt which is more waterproof itself. Also the shunt is rated for 500 amps so the terminals on it are huge. My battery cables were not as big so I had to open them up a bit to fit on the shunt terminals. I don't need anywhere near 500a so it would have been nice to have a smaller shunt with battery sized terminals. Just noting this for other customers but still love the product.There is also the Bluetooth app which works extremely well to give you much more control and details on whats happening with your electrical system. If you always camp plugged in to shore power this might not be worth it but if you dry camp this is a must have.Highly recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to any size solar solution!
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2021
I debated on getting this but now I believe it was worth the extra money for the visibility into what my batteries are doing. The setup was simple and the bluetooth information I get from this unit is very helpful to understand, from the load on the batteries from the inverter, the length of time remaining based on current load, and the current percentage remaining in the batteries. I also appreciate the little extras that this provides like the ability to create a network which then joins with my Victron Smart charge controller so they can share information to insure I get the best performance possible. Bluetooth on iPhone, iPad, and Mac works great.
