It measures the voltage, current and capacity of your battery and shows them on a backlit LCD, so you can see the state of charge at any time. Renogy rates its voltage, current and capacity accuracy at ±1%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works with systems from 10V to 120V and up to 500A, and with lead acid (AGM, GEL), lithium iron phosphate, lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride batteries. It suits RV, marine, off-grid and home battery banks, as well as mobile equipment such as e-bikes, motorcycles and electric wheelchairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRenogy 500A Battery Monitor With Shunt Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eShunt Measurement Tracks Real Current\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe monitor reads current through a 500A shunt placed in the negative circuit of your battery. Because all current to and from the battery passes through the shunt, the display follows real charge and discharge instead of estimating from voltage alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBacklit LCD With Six Readings\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe green backlit LCD shows present capacity in Ah, capacity percentage, remaining time, present voltage, present current and present power. A charge and discharge indicator shows which way current is flowing, and the backlight brightness is adjustable for night use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProgrammable Low Capacity Alarm\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can set the effective battery capacity, full capacity voltage, zero capacity voltage, shutdown voltage and a low capacity alarm.

The display fits in a rectangular panel cutout and locks in with tabs, and the transparent shunt holder makes mounting the shunt easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLow Power Draw and Memory\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandby draw is 1 to 2 mA.

The shunt B- goes to the battery negative, and P- goes to the output and charge negative. Run a 0.3 to 0.75 mm² wire from the battery positive to B+ on the shunt. Then connect the shielded wire to the display. Disconnect the battery negative before installing, and use fuses or circuit breakers on loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSet the Battery Capacity First\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe default capacity is 100Ah. Set it to your battery bank's actual effective capacity before first use, or the percentage will be wrong.
