I use the remote meter on my fish house with a couple old Siemens modules and a 600w Magnum inverter. I like it because my old man can tell what we've used from the bats (in Ahs) and what we've put in from the modules (in Ah). I have two batteries in the house one for the dc loads and one for the inverter.
