Since six months using a likewise meter, really good increase in the monitoring system. Prior to this meter I was confused regarding the output power of my battery bank system, but now satisfied that the set is working properly. Nine readings on this meter are enough to decide status. However there is no sign of flow direction. Also using another meter (PZEM-025) with only four readings, V,A,W and kWh; there is a sign with A and kWh. The shunt is inside the meter but thick wire has to be used with this meter.

If you so much as momentarily unplug the battery/s you are monitoring, you will have 0 volts, which is less than 8.... Unless you are willing to loose the stored data, the other 2 wires are actually very important. Secure another battery of the correct voltage range to the inputs to act as an external power source and you can disconnect the main battery input and later reconnect it and everything still be as before

Thanks for the info 👍

A 5 minute video would have been enough to show the wiring set up as that is straight forward. Time should have been spent on showing how to configure the device through its menu system as the instructions are poor in this area.

It tells on the back of the meter how to hook it up. I forgot how to program it. I watched the wrong video waiting for you to get to the programming.

That is right the wiring is straight forward, the programming is not. Every one of these videos I've seen ignores this, total waste of time watching all of them.

6 months I've bought it. I have 2 LiFePo4 batteries and it dosn't work. Isn't it only for lead or AGM batteries ??

Detailed an informative video. My 300A Shunt read 12v battery pack 0.5 v less than the actual voltage measured by voltmeter . Does which side of the Shunt orientation selected matter ? TIA

I am not sure. I am not an expert. I know some voltmeter may give a different reading base on the component within the meter

Does it will work for power supply to measure volt ampere and watt i don't want to measure battery capacity

I have the meter hooked up like you described. I have no idea what the read outs mean. Can you please make a video that explains what the 9 functions the meter monitors? Eg... I have a 100 mah battery. The battery level icon shows full. The numbers at the top right (mah capacity) reads 4.85 and climbing. How does that number relate to mah capacity? I would think that it would determine the max capacity of the battery. This seems to work great based upon your video, but I have no idea what all the numbers indicate. Do you?

Yeah if you dont want a fire in your RV do NOT buy and use these as they are defective by design so much so the electrolytic cap blows out and the main MCU chip gets hot enough to burn the PCB, melt it's own solder and deform the plastic casing. See I was gong to add these to my RV camper as an upgrade from the analog power meter and I am glad I bench tested them first or I would have had a fire and lost my trailer. I ordered 2 of them to do charger in and battery out so I set them up as per the diagrams and the plan was to let them run 24 hours but once power was enabled, both units backlight lit up, and one gave a display that was working, the other one was now dark, no life and started to smell like something burned out so it was removed and the working one was left there. I came back 4 hours later and my shop reeked of burnt electronics and the once working meter was dead and the back was deformed. I opened it up and the MCU was detached from the PCB and had burnt the PCB. SO I was not re buying these and I opted for power meters from the RV service center which costed over $150 for the pair plus all the shunts and sensors but they worked out of the box, passed bench test and are currently in the trailer working perfectly after a year now.

Hi these are great but i have found when using charger and gets to full charge and charger turns off it kills the monitor any way to stop this

real hard to follow your video as its shaking all over the place. Just place it on a tripod for a much better presentation.

The black should not be on the blue terminal. It’s should be on that side of the shunt, but not on the same connection point.

The black/red wire is only used to bring power to the unit, it can be placed where negative/positive wire. The blue and the yellow depending how they are placed will indicate the amount discharged or charged.

Just use some double stick tape. Mine is attached to the LifePO4 top of the battery. Some folks have to extend the wires as they are only a few inches long.
