Monitor Dimensions: Front panel 2.54" dia., Body dia.Waterproof Rating: Front panel rated IP65.Mounting Hole Size: 2 1/16" to 2 1/8" dia.Volts: 12V or 24V systems (9-35V supply voltage).Victron BMV-712 Perhaps the most popular RV battery monitor currently on the market is the Victron BMV-712. Amp Hours: Low range: 0-99Ah (+/- 0.1Ah), High range: 100-999Ah (+/- 1Ah) Xantrex 84-2030-00 LinkLite Battery Monitor Read your battery bank like a fuel gauge Package Dimensions: 12.065 H x 16.764 L x 9.652 W (centimeters) 125.00 234.99 Buy on Amazon Price & availability info updated at 04:58.Functions: Volts, Amps, Amp hours, state of charge, Low battery alarm.Shunt selection capability enables flexible system integration. ![]() Secondary battery bank voltage monitoring.Displays voltage, current, consumed amp hours and remaining battery capacity.Provides critical information about the status of your battery bank.It is equipped with an internal programmable alarm relay, to run a generator when needed or to turn off devices when the battery voltage exceeds programmable boundaries. A second battery input is also provided to monitor voltage on a second battery. Using a clear backlit LCD Display and an intuitive user interface, all parameters can be recalled with just a button press. The LinkLITE selectively displays voltage, charge and discharge current, consumed amp hours and remaining battery capacity. High performance measuring circuits, along with complex software algorithms, are used to exactly determine the remaining battery capacity. It is equipped with an internal programmable alarm relay, to run a generator when needed or to turn off devices when the battery voltage exceeds programmable boundaries.ĭefining the amount of energy available in a battery is a complex task since battery age, discharge current and temperature all influence the actual battery capacity. It selectively displays voltage, charge and discharge current, consumed amp hours and remaining battery capacity. ![]() The LinkLITE battery monitor can measure currents up to 1,000Amps. Capable of being grid-interactive or grid-independent, the XW Series will operate with generators and renewable energy sources to provide full-time or backup power. Includes the key features of the LinkPRO in a simpler and affordable package with lower monitoring limits, and without networking communication or battery temperature sensing. The Xantrex XW inverters are the most efficient (95) that we know of for grid-interactive, where you are selling back excess power from a battery based system. Includes a low battery alarm with a trigger to control external equipment. LinkLITE supplies battery status at a glance, with all the basic information you need. The large backlit LCD display and intuitive user interface shows accurate status of your single or two-bank battery system (digital resolution to 0.1). ![]() Basically splitting the cable in two and having the battery shunt inserted in the middle.Read your battery bank like a fuel gauge. A simple way to accomplish this is for all the negative connections to be wired on a DC negative distribution bus and have the cable between the negative bus and the negative of the battery be intercepted by a shunt. As such, the battery monitor shunt needs to capture all currents going in and out of the battery negative. There is no need to intercept any current on the positive side as the negative side of the circuit sees the same amperage. Mike Answer:Ī battery monitor shunt measure amps only on the negative side of the circuit. ![]() All positive connections to the batteries are properly fused. So what is the correct connection for these items that have to have a direct connection to the battery? A junction block off the positive side of the house bank and a junction block or multiple negative connections on the negative side of the shunt before ground to the engine block? I forgot to mention the Xantrex true charge 20 charger also connects directly to both battery banks. I noticed in your recent article in Pacific Yachting Magazine that none of these should be "connected directly to the batteries as these will bypass the shunt and will not be seen by the battery monitor". I have an espar diesel heater connected directly to the house batteries, the bilge pump connected through a switch and have recently added a 100W solar panel through a PWM solar controller also connected directly to the house bank. Why Should I Use a Shunt Instead of Connecting Directly to the Batteries? Question:I have a Xantrex battery monitor which is connected to a shunt on the negative side, installed after the house battery bank which is (2) 95 amp/hr AGM batteries and the starting battery which is, I think 75 amp/hr.
