WTP-GC wrong again. Not trying to backwards figure amp hours left in battery. Since I am using a PWM controller I will have infinite speed, 0-100 %. I want to try and find the sweet spot in amp draw / speed, kind of like finding the sweet spot for mileage when towing, for example 55 vs 65.
I think I found a unit that will work. I will liikely hook it up temp and just run it long enough to get the info I need. It is not waterproof. Then I can move it into my TT and use it as a monitor. I found a cheap volt only meter that is waterproof and will leave it on the kayak permanently.
You may be thinking why go to the trouble? Well, I'm retired and got nothing better to do and want to know even though most people don't see a need for it. Since I am using a small deep cycle battery it is part of my battery management system, at least that is what the voices in my head are saying.
If you're just looking for temporary data collection, then why go through all this trouble. A clamp-style amp meter will work just fine.
