Perfect for my application!

Perfect for my application of the 12v SLA battery controller in one of those electronic safes. I built the mount out of 26 ga. Sheet metal that is welded and riveted to the battery door after the wire clearance hole has also been drilled. I am now able to charge the battery at a reasonable discharge level before low voltage affects safe operation.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Cons

Accurate but poor mounting options

I see some people complaining that it's not accurate compared to my multimeter but it's accurate. The only thing I don't like is that the only mounting option is to just drill holes in it and screw it to the wall. And I don't like that there is no cover on the back. I'm assuming it's going to be wall mounted, but that's not the best option for me.

Pros
  • Handy thingy
Cons
  • Compatibility

Inaccurate and poorly made.

I am very disappointed with it. Not only does it not show the exact voltage, it also doesn't show the exact battery percentage. (see photos) not to mention that it looks like it will break in your hands at any moment. I bought this for my van conversion so I can see my 250Ah AGM battery percentage at a glance. Plunging inside to install the meter, I found that it was not reading accurately. I guess I'll have to buy a bigger display to hide the hole this created.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • I have no dislikes for it, everything is fine

Leaves a lot to be desired.

Extremely annoying that there is no plug and wires in the kit for you to connect something. I had to disconnect the connector and solder the wires directly to the board. I use this device for my homemade and 3D printed work lights that I use every day at work. I wasn't expecting very accurate readings as it depends on the battery voltage to determine the percentage. It seems accurate enough for this purpose. The backlight is a bit dimmer than I expected, but it works. Hope it lasts, looks a bit

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Without machine gun

Very accurate: battery tester

I had my doubts as I have another battery meter and it shows a higher percentage than this one. Spring. After testing both, I found that this counter is indeed correct. Remember folks, different gauges calculate "full" based on different voltages. I use this to monitor my RV batteries and it works fine as it doesn't take into account the operating voltage (alternator output). I also like the fact that I don't have to reach back to turn it on or off like other models do. There is an on/offโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Negative impression

Inaccurate percentage reading. I recently installed and found that a fully charged 12.7 volt battery only shows 84% charge on this gauge. A 12V battery cannot have a higher voltage than 12.7V, so the reading must be 100%. This inaccurate percentage reading worries my wife when we go camping. I need to replace it with an accurate counter. However, I have already cut a hole in my custom cabinets. Therefore, trying to find a replacement in the same dimensions proves to be a difficult task. I'mโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • 0

IT DOES NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD.

THIS BATTERY MONITOR DOES NOT WORK. SHOULD SHOW BATTERY POWER IN PERCENTAGE FROM 100% TO 0%. After installation, the monitor only shows 100% (it shows that the batteries are fully charged, despite using the car (Golf Corps), which clearly consumes the power of the batteries. The seller previously encountered an explanation that was meaningless . The meter will not read the batteries if "Engine" HAS NOT BEEN TURNED OFF. IN THIS APP IT MEANS NOT. THE METER HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN GOLF CARE FORโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • The list will be long.
