Learn more how customers reviews work on AmazonCustomers say
Customers like the information the battery monitor displays. They say it's crucial to fully monitoring the battery. They also like the display, saying it shows all necessary information for battery including charge, discharge, amp, and wattage usage. However, some customers have reported issues with the battery charging. They mention that the monitor will show a full charge well before the charging has started, and that it never reaches fully charged state. Customers also differ on quality, accuracy, readability, value, and ease of installation.

When I was using lead-acid batteries without a monitor, I had to estimate the state of charge by the battery voltage. With the Renogy Monitor, checking how much battery I have left is as easy as checking the battery on a phone. I get a percentage figure as well as some other numbers detailing charge/discharge rate and the number of amp/hours left. That percentage readout has made monitoring the battery a lot easier.
After setting it up, which is kind of a long process because you have to drain the battery to set the zero point, this device has worked very well without any maintenance or adjustments required. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone living in a vehicle with a solar PV system.
So we ordered the wire and sure enough it's the exact size and specs. as the Renogy wire. The only difference if that one end of the plug does not fit the Renogy. So, we used the end that fits the Renogy, then carefully cut the wire to the desire length and spliced it to the wire we had. It is important to take your time and be super careful when you cutting those tiny wires. It is best to solder them together and tape them good with electrical tape. Make sure you connect the shielded wired together too. Our works great and without any issues.
After ten days of this nonsense, I gave up and called again to learn that NOW they’ll send a return label for me to send it in, they’ll take 7 to 10 business days to “test” it. If they find it’s defective (look at the video - what do YOU think??) they’ll repair it. If not, then they said I’ll have to pay to get it shipped back. All of this for a low-dollar electronic item that they should just swap out and recondition. Meanwhile, I’m left without a fully functional solar system while their archaic “customer service” process plays out.
Based on this experience, I regret buying any Renogy products. If I could, I’d return the entire Renogy setup (panels, controller, etc.) and go with a different brand entirely. Not only are their products not reliable (don’t depend on Renogy if you’re trying to go off grid), but you could be without power for a long time while you navigate their archaic support process.

Fiz os ajustes de capacidade do banco de baterias, das tensões máxima e mínima, mas ele não me pareceu muito preciso para determinar a capacidade de carga em Ah do banco de baterias.
Me pareceu que ele usa apenas a tensão das baterias para essa estimativa de capacidade.
Mas resolveu o meu problema de saber o consumo de corrente e a carga que está sendo feita via o painel solar, alternador ou o carregador DC. Isso é bem eficiente, além da tensão das baterias.
