Thank you so much for this simple informative presentation. Cleverly constructed presentation without unnecessary talk about something... Do you know if 200A max means battery capacity or consumption/charge value
Hi thanks for your comments. The 200 Amp is the max the screen will display. The battery capacity is set in the setting mode. You set it to match your battery's capacity and it's fully charged voltage, [mine is 105ah and 13.2v] with these two values the unit can calculate the % of charge. Remember If you are drawing 200amp the cables to handle that current have to go through the hall senser. Also the cable Charging the battery has to go through. This might be a problem because the diameter of the hole in the Hall Senser is only 2cm I had to get solar cable and DC/DC Charging , Inverter supply and fuse box feed. 4 cables in total.... Good luck
Hi, while searching for information on this topic I found the possibility to install a hall sensor also on the negative wire, but it is installed with an arrow in the other direction than on the positive cable. Often there are not several negative wires and the installation is easier.
hi, and thanks for your comments. The Maximum display current of this device is 200amps, so if the draw from your batteries is less than that then 200amps it will be fine. It would still work but wouldn't display higher than 200amps. My only problem as you can see from the video is the dia. of the Hall sensor. It's only 2cm and all your POSITIVE cables TO AND FROM the batteries need to go through it. The charging cables from DC to DC charger, Solar panels, Inverter, Fuse box, etc. In My Case, 4 cables made it a tight fit. Hope this helps, Mine is working fine. Good luck
@@captainskyleader9938 Thanks for your good answer👍😀, I will try to find a solution for a 2cm hole, maybe a shaped cable with a shoe soldered together and wires or one thick wire to connect all the wires on one side of the cable to the shoe and continue with this wire for the battery. Must try..
Not sure if you can help. I cant get my battery capacity to show. Where yours show the amount of ah (105ah) mine shows Mah and the figure keeps changing despite me entering my battery capacity on the parameters screen. Did you have this issue or not? Thanks!
Hi to answer your question. First on the parameter page enter battery capacity, in my case 105ah. Yours my be different. Next enter the fully charged voltage, in my case 13.3 volts. Lastly enter the discharged voltage mine is 10.5 volts to be safe. Check these voltages with your battery manufacturer if your not sure. With these 3 data installed the chip can calculate the % left in battery. Example if it sees 13.3volts it knows 100% charged and if it sees 10.5 volts it knows 0%. So also works out the % between the to voltages. Half way between the two would be 50% and so on. Hope this makes sense and helps. Let me know if you are successful.
Thanks for the comment. Would be nice but for the price £47.99 on UK ebay Nov 2023 can't expect to much. I have Smart, Fogstar Batteries (UK Company) which have a Bluetooth app built in so not a problem for me.
Just bought one..the instructions are rubbish, the touch screen is about as sensitive as Hitler and it thinks I have a 12v battery instead of 48v....I'm sure if I played around long enough I might be able to fathom out what is going on, but clear instructions would have saved all that !!
You're too generous .... the whole thing is rubbish: Problem 1: The Hall diameter is too small. You can get one 1/0 battery to inverter wire wire through the loop at that's it. No room for the charging wire too. Problem 2: The Hall sensor power wire is too short. You better have the battery + & - terminals equidistant to the sensor, or one of them won't reach. Problem 3: The monitor has connections that terminate on the side, so you need to have a thin panel to mount it in and the mounting hardware requires access from the back of the panel to work. Problem 4: The manual is literally written in reverse order. For example, on page 3 for wiring, it says that you'll see blue and green flashing lights if successful, but you have to go to page 4 where it says how to turn on the monitor. Then it isn't until page 7 till you see "Settings before first use".

Yes that is correct. If you try this let me know the results. Many thank.
Thanks for posting - you think this would work on multiple batteries in parallel ? (great demo of power going in and out)

Has anyone else come across the arrow being the wrong way round on the hall sensor, bit annoying.....

This would be perfect if it could be accessed on Wi-Fi (not bluetooth).
