Please help me in understanding the pros and cons and maybe more importantly the differences between these types of units.
I can get panel mount volt meters that will also measure amp draw but based upon what I've read here, they do not keep track of amps in and amps out. Just amps out?
Whereas the Trimetric type counts both? So this way I can, at a glance, have a fairly good idea how much "juice" I have left in the batteries?
I like the pricing of the panel mount units much more. Can they be used in the same (or similar) way somehow?
Just to be clear, I'm looking at the 12V side.
Thanks,
Careful johnm1 sometimes you get what you pay for. As an example does the cheapo have the ability to set the % of overcharge of amphours used? (The answer is no)(do you know why this is important?) is the cheapo going to last?
