That is essentially a voltmeter with a lot of irrelevant data added. Pretty useless for monitoring your batteries. You need something like this 12voltplanet.co.uk/victron-bmv-700-multi-function-battery-monitor-1-batterybank.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqsQMK4KBUvqIwtx4PbDeGGkG0gpv4G8L2Q_P97uVzRvWvN8xc6 to monitor your consumption and charging. As you can see it costs nearly 10 times as much which gives a clue as to the difference in functionality and usefulness. Other makes are available, all costing +/- £100. You can replace your current device easily with the Victron - the wiring is essentially the same.

It is a coulomb counting battery monitor, but often these cheap meters are not very accurate with no allowance for battery efficiency and Peukert's law. The small 100A shunt is also a limitation on many boats.

Such is social media, better to accept. And trust no one So much misinformation gets put out & the usual suspects never ever back down when it's pointed out they are talk rubbish. Ai kicks web chatrooms into touch these days for getting reliable relevant instant information with sources to confirm off the web.

Where do you think the so called "AI" gets its answers from ? It trawls the internet for its information. Without forums etc there would be no information for it to gather. What it cannot gather is experience and real World knowledge.

In the past, you boringly popped up frequently telling us how SignalK was the answer to every question in the universe, now, it's AI.

Forums have been around since man first gathered together .... I'm sure they'll survive this - as they have every other rival ...

I think that's the kettle calling the pot black with regards to boring !
