The Renogy Battery Monitor is designed to monitor performance for most kinds of batteries. Its high-precision measurements will eliminate the guesswork from battery usage and improve your battery bank's overall performance and longevity!
It is a universal battery monitor that you can use with voltage ranging from 10V to 120V and up to 500A.
LOW POWER CONSUMPTION DESIGN
The backlight will automatically shut down when the charging current is ＜100mA and only 1 mA Standby Dissipation. This battery monitor is equipped with data storage capacity. It automatically saves the last testing data when its power is off.
PROTECT YOUR BATTERY
This monitor gives you high precision current detection and accurate battery state of charge. You can also set an alarm for high or low current voltage. When the alarm is activated, the backlight and voltage value will be shown on the screen to alert you on what to do when you reach the cut-off voltage.
EASY TO INSTALL
The package includes the LCD interface, 500A shunt, transparent shunt holder, 20 ft shielded wire, and B+ wire. The shunt holder makes it very convenient to mount the shunt while the long shielded wire allows you to monitor the status of your battery from a distance.
Monitor your battery degradation with Renogy Battery Monitor!
It is of extreme importance to achieve accurate predictions of the remaining battery lifetime under various operating conditions. With the Renogy New Battery Monitor (RBM500-G3), you will be able to monitor the battery degradation to ensure reliable operation and timely maintenance.
Please follow the following steps for battery degradation monitor and calculation:
* 30 days data collection: record the effective battery capacity and nominal battery capacity on a daily base
* Effective Battery Capacity = Nominal Battery Capacity - (Current CAP * Battery Degradation Rate)
* Battery Degradation Rate = Nominal Battery Capacity- Effective Battery Capacity/Current CAP
