- Install and review of the AiLi battery monitor. Is this any good for £48? Full install of the unit and all of the wiring too. I picked this up from Amazon but sure it can be picked up from other places too. Link is below 👇

Great job on the video! you covered exactly the points that i was looking for that wasn't clearly explained in the instructions. I do have a question i was hoping you could answer. I have read that it monitors discharge (as shown in video) and they at also monitors charging. In the case of monitoring chargin, does a negative lead from the charging source need to be connected to P- so that it can monitor energy passing through the shunt? or will it recognize charge input if the just going directly to the leisure battery? (i.e. if i had power input from a battery maintainer or solar i would connect the red clamps to the (+) post on the leisure battery, and the black clamps to the (P-) post on the shunt to complete the circuit and it monitor power input) it makes sense in my head, just curious how yours is done if your battery is recharged by the engine and/or solar.
Hi - thanks for the comment. I do have DC/DC charger from alternator but I have to be honest I have not ever checked the charging side! So sorry not sure I have an answer on this one 😓 Hope you can get it sorted ✅
What gauge wire did you use to connect the shunt to the battery? The terminals that hold those wires look so tiny and the screws to tighten them require a microscrewdriver.
I honestly don’t remember sorry 😢- I will have to take a look 👀
What size fuse should I use in the power wire to the shunt? I like to fuse anything that draws power, but the instructions from AiLi don't show a fuse, let alone indicate what size it should be.
Hey 👋 Thanks for the comment and checking out the video! That is a really good point and to be honest not something I have done with my install either… Maybe give the manufacturer a shout? Or put a question on the product listing on Amazon? Sorry couldn’t help direct with the W
@@TransitCustomCamper Thanks much for the reply. I will contact them.
How does it differentiate between FLA and Lithium Batseries. Is there a setup function for peukert factor?
I am not sure sorry 😢
Thanks for the great video. I have two of these and I can’t get either of them to light up. I put the shunt between my battery negative and my negative Busbar. I know the shunt connection is fine because the circuit is working fine for my lights and other loads so it must be the wiring to power the shunt but I’ve redone the connections several times but still not getting any power to monitor display. It’s odd it’s happening with both monitors so I’m thinking I’m doing something wrong but can’t think what. Any ideas???
That is a strange one? Are they getting power at all? I.e you can see the LCD but not the backlight? What I usually do but didn’t show on this video was a bench test with a test 12v battery to make sure all good? Might be worth doing to make sure no issues with the units?
@@TransitCustomCamper I was thinking both couldn’t be broken so I shortened the power wire and gave it a new connector and it’s working now!!! Thanks so much!!!
Ah good! Glad it’s all sorted! Yeah would have been odd if both were not working! Happy battery monitoring 😃
Hi Which terminal on the shunt, dose the solar Charge controller connect to Plz :)
I am sorry I am not sure as I don’t have solar on the van 😢

We’re we get aili battery monitor I really need
Hi - I got my one of Amazon but you might be able to get them from other places too 👍 amzn.to/3uuXmuD
Is your shunt 100a or 350a. Thanks
Hey - thanks for checking out the video. I am not sure to be honest it was supplied with the kit itself. Just looking on the website and does mention the current range on min is 350a. I think also models with 100a also available
@TransitCustomCamper thanks. I got the 100a shunt but think I need the bigger one.
I want a free GPS . Have had this battery monitor saved in eBay, looks just the job for little money so going to be getting one. Thanks 😊
Ah great thanks for the comment and thanks for entering the prize draw for the GPS too 👍 Battery monitor is good was away in van last night and just good to know how much juice we have left - how much is it on eBay? I think it was £48 on Amazon?

hi there , im currently building my transit camper its 80% complete some ideas ive got from your channel ! , and should be finished in the coming weeks let me know how to send pics to you cheers glen
Hey Glen! That’s great news! Amazing to hear that the videos have been useful 👍 Be great to feature the van on watchers vans when you ready with that final 20%! Email them over to transitcustomconversion@gmail.com 👍 look forward to seeing the pics 😃
@@TransitCustomCamper will do mate , btw whats your name ? so i can address you correctly haha
@@remtate - it’s Dave mate 👍
i want free gps, great vid
Hey Veni… thanks for checking out the video and the comment. I can confirm you have just made the cut for the draw on the free gps!! Thanks again 👍
Is it any good? Thanks David.
Yeah - it does what it says on the tin and cost effective solution vs other similar products. Being honest though as we don’t generally go off grid I don’t think our leisure battery ever been below 98%.. 😄 Also if you do have a 12v control panel with a readout you can kind of tell what the battery charge level is too… But on the whole good little product, easy to install and use 👍
@@TransitCustomCamper Thanks. So many versions on Amazon.
You take a risk sometimes.
I want free GPS! Almost done with my conversion now!
Hey there! Thanks for the comment and glad to hear you almost there with your conversion? Is it a Transit Custom? Also to confirm you in the prize draw too for the GPS 👍

Has anyone figured how to disable the light (apart from covering it)? Its blinding at night!!
Apparently you press and hold the 2 outer buttons and hold for 3 seconds.
Watch other installation vids they tell you
Hey 👋 Yes - Steve comment is right press and hold the two outer buttons turns off the backlight 👍
I want free GPS. Thank you. Wow almost there 😊
Thanks Nita!! Thanks for the support really appreciate it 👍

@@TransitCustomCamper oo great, where can I email my details to, not sure how to do private replies on UA-cam yet 😊
Sure no worries I put the email above it’s transitcustomconversion@gmail.com 👍
Easiest Sub ever. BMD
Cheers BML ❤️
not an install video
Thanks for the comment. Sorry it didn’t hit the mark for you
You all always start this tutorial well and then jump to a dark cramped van without actually showing us doing the wiring😢😢😢
Hi - thanks for the comment and checking out the video. Sorry it didn’t hit the mark by showing the wiring in more details. Always a bit difficult filming in the van on my own just on my phone too 🥲 I’ll try and improve on any future content
