Do I really need a $200 Battery Monitor??
Been reading and looking at battery monitors. Seems like they come in all sizes shapes and prices, some with a shunt and some without. Do the roughly $200 monitors like Trimetric, Bluesky, Magnum, X...

IMO it is useful for monitoring how the solar is producing, that's what I use mine for 90 percent of the time. Handy to be sitting in my chair outside and be able to see how the sun/cloud is effecting the panels. I also like to see how many amps an individual item is drawing but that could be done with a multimeter too.
Again it's not necessary but I can afford it and RV'ing is my only vice lol so I don't mind spending a few bucks even for the entertainment value... yes I'm easily entertained.
