  • Comparison of two different battery monitors I purchased from Amazon. Both work equally well. Both share very similar features. One is newer to the market at a much lower price! Which is right for you? Plus a quick tech tip!

    Crazy how similar those shunts are. Almost like they were made in the same factory. 🤔

    Wow,
    these are a lot cheaper than the Victron BMV 712 shunt and little round monitor I installed a few years ago.
    The one thing I do like about my unit is it will record power usage!
    You can look at the chart on a phone and see where power was used or came in.

      Unfortunately with the budget oriented stand alone units, Bluetooth/WiFi aren’t normally included. Renogy has a BT module that can track parameters like the Victron units that goes with their proprietary products! I’m sure the other manufacturers aren’t far behind!

    Could you possibly do a video hooking one of these up on a 36 volt DC EZGO Golf cart ? I got the Renogy monitor but can't seem to get the display to illuminate after following the installation one in their very limited manual. I called Renogy tech support but they were not much help regarding a golf cart install. Nice videos, thanks ! Mike C.

    Would the li time be effective with a single lithium iron phosphate battery?

      Yes! Either battery monitor has adjustable settings/parameters so you can tailor to your needs!
