Pros & Cons
Pros

Cons
The monitor is very difficult to read in day light and the readability is even worse with the backlight on. The cable is extremely thin and poorly made. The manual is trash and not informative. This thing is garbage.
Battery stats it reports are flat out wrong, and it never reaches fully charged state. It shows 98% full when the charge controller is saying 62% full. When charging at 100amp the meter reads under 70.
If you call renogy the phone system says they are transferring you and you get disconnected. No reply contact and a new phone number they supplied just hangs up. After over an hour of waiting on hold while on vacation i was then disconnected!
The problem comes with recharging the battery. Stopped working correctly altogether. Just hiring a translator to translate chinese to english doesn't work.
Customer service is non-existent. Obtaining support is convoluted. The warranty is useless if you cannot communicate with them.
