William;

Bogart engineering, hands down. Trimetric for most customers, and Pentametric for high-information customers, if you need to measure multiple shunts, or if you want to log and monitor on a computer or via internet. Great customer service, owner and engineer Ralph will get you going if there are problems, and he even returns phone calls.

If the customer already has Outback equipment and already has a Mate monitor panel and system network Hub, I'd go with the Outback FlexNetDC battery monitor, which will plug right into the hub and read out on the Mate. If the customer does NOT already have the Mate and Hub, price point for all these plus the Flexnet may well be too high for you.

Wrenches:

An off grid client has a system monitor that has not been very a satisfactory. I belive it is a Trace Meter 500. It is not calibrateable and the results are not reliable. Is there a newer monitor that will show battery voltage and charging and discharging amps and amp/hours that any of you could recommend?

Thanks in advance!

William Miller
