Battery monitors

[Richard Hayden]

And then there is [url]www.amplepower.com<[/url]http://www.amplepower.com/> which is worth
looking into as well. The owner of the company, David Smead, is a boater as
well as an RVer and has developed a wide varity of 12 volt power products and
systems. At the web site you will find a really good Primer on 12 volt.

Hello,

Xantrex is very well known and has simular products that can be used
with or w/o their chargers or inverters. Their documentation is very
well written. A good primer on battery monitoring that is worth reading
prior to purchasing product from any company.

For most folks, a modern step charger (iota, progressive dynamics, or
xantrex), an accurate dash voltmeter (verify w/dmm at batteries), a
willingness to keep batteries watered and cables clean in good order,
and a certain degree of due dilligence on monitoring battery voltages
are all that is really necessary. Though a low voltage battery alarm
probably wouldn't be a bad idea either.
