Review on Xantrex 84 2030 00 LinkLite Battery Monitor by Mark Young

This is my 4th Xantrex Lite monitor on 3 boats (one died after 4 years). This is a wonderful piece of equipment to help me maintain my many batteries on a sailboat and now two trawlers. The digital voltmeter shows me the exact state of charge (12.6 to 12.7 is the ideal resting voltage), the instantaneous current in amps so I can see which loads are drawing the most current from my batteries, and the total amp hours to do so when I am at anchor, I can determine in a few hours how much current is drawn from this or that battery. My batteries last many years longer than my friends' batteries; I attribute this to my ability to maintain proper battery hygiene with my Linklite monitor. I would never own a cruise ship if I didn't install one right away (as I actually did with my last three boats).
