Renogy 500A Battery Monitor, Tester with Shunt, Battery Meter Power System

Finally, I can see what my battery is actually doing and what state it's in. I installed this meter in my travel trailer to provide more accurate information than the trailer's useless battery meter. That meter measured in 1/3 power increments which drove me crazy...what's that suppose to tell me! I love this Renogy meter because it provides lots of info on the batteries current state in volts, and amp hours remaining based on what you programmed in during initial set up. It will also show you battery usage info i.e amps and watts being drawn or gained if your battery is being charged. Two of the most useful info it has are percentage of power left and time to depletion if the rate of consumption remains the same. It was very easy to install and setup...two thumbs up from me, just what I was looking for : )

Items works well very happy

The Renogy 500A Battery Monitor with Shunt was received in good condition. It was professionally packaged and is of good quality. My application is the off-grid power source for my well. The input is 860-Watt peak solar array, output through the batteries to a 3000-Watt, 230 Volt AC inverter to power my well pump. The on-time duty cycle of the pump is low. Follow the instructions and connect both the C- charge source and the P- Output (load) to the Shunt sampler P- terminal. Also "Teach" your battery bank capacity to the monitor per the instructions. Keep in mind that the Amp reading and Watt reading is the Net current and Net power. Example; you may have 10 Amps coming from the charge source, but a 4 Amp load so the Battery monitor will read +6 Amps going to the battery. With no charge source current (solar panels in the dark) the meter will read -4 Amps for the same load. Think of it as the old center 0 analog Amp meter, but with much more useful tracking of the Net Amp-hours going in and out and percent of remaining capacity of the battery bank. It should be used with a quality charge controller that has an Amp meter so you can distinguish the total solar power output. My charge controller cable going to the sampler P- terminal is AWG 4 because my solar array is capable of 52 Amps peak output. My load cable going between the sampler P- terminal and the 3000-Watt inverter is AWG 2/0 because it can draw over 250 Amps.My only complaint is the mounting of the meter itself. It is designed to be snapped into a panel rectangular cutout dashboard rather than surface mounted on a wall. I Macgyvered a mounting bracket for it from what I had available.Overall, it is good value, good quality, accurate and reliable.

Excellent batt monitor I put it in travel trailer with renogy 2000 watt inverter
