Pros & Cons
Pros
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/sampler can't always be installed in ideal positions. Good value... Read More
Takes all the guessing out of what is going on on your solar/electrical system. Two of the most useful info it has are percentage of power left and time to depletion.
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.
Highlights
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.
I originally bought the aili battery monitor which was about $70+ and after installing it, it would not allow me to set the bat... Read More

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

As well you can see at a glance how much power you are using and likewise how your charging is going

I can tell what each item is drawing for power as i turn it on and how many hours i can run without dropping batteries below 50

It does not actually measure the amount of amps you have left in your batteries
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
If you using a deep cycle battery then you should set it for half of the total amp hours supplied by the battery as you do not want to drain your batteries below 50 if possible as this will reduce the life span of your batteries
