Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The shunt/monitor uses more info to show the data and this makes it much better than relying solely on voltage. One thing that renology should do is to sell a weatherproof cover as the shunt and sampler can't always be installed in ideal positions.

Renogy meter provides lots of info on the batteries current state in volts. Based on what you programmed in during initial set up. Takes all the guessing out of what is going on on your solar/electrical system.

Super easy to install and configure. Easy to setup and good cable setup. Good product, but needs careful consideration when installing it.

Cons

Too difficult to pull out cable from wall cavity and return whole item. Not worth the hassle.

Is just a counting down monitor from the manually calibrated chosen value (100 ah) to zero.

Couldn't adjust anything in the menu. Problem is still unknown and now the product sits unused and disconnected.

Quality

Very easy to read/use, easy to install and well built.

Easy to setup and good cable setup.

Stopping charging early saves heat and stress to some of the components in the battery bms and charger circuits.

We had the usual voltage and full, 2/3, 1/3, empty lights (more suitable for tanks than batteries).

Price

This is a really useful piece of instrumentation for a battery array, particularly at this cost.

Shipping

I had ordered this from renogy, but they couldn’t fill the order, got the same item delivered same day.

Odd that renogy couldn’t ship this a week after i ordered it.

I contacted the help line and got responses back very quickly.

Not installed yet but nice looking unit and the shipping was fast.

Competitiveness

I do recommend this product since it does cost 60% less than the one people say is the industry leader.

This is one of the better products by renogy, though installation instructions could be more thorough.

The readings are bang on when i hook it up to other monitors to compare
