Hi jrnymn,
With respect, the Trimetric and most other amp-hour counters have problems.
The Trimetric has no Peukert Calculation built in. That is why I prefer the idea of the Victron, which does do that calculation.
With most if not all meters you have to enter the total number of amp-hours of capacity in the bank. Unfortunately, this is a moving target. I.e. temperature affects capacity.
They are a dull knife--but I guess better a dull knife than no knife at all. I believe they are overpriced, too.
An ammeter and a volt meter can be used to tell the owner what is currently happening to the bank.
As most of my consumption is 120 volt AC I do have a watt meter. It does count what my usage for the day is.
Anyone know of a good watt hour counter for 12 volt DC?
