I really like the AH and WH counting features of the RC Wattmeters. They also display Watt peak, Amp peak, minimum voltage, all of which can be helpful learning tools.
I installed a similarly priced 100amp voltmeter ammeter combo with shunt on a project, and it was just too inaccurate under 2 amps and would not display currents under 0.8 amps.
But I did not fear passing 100 amps through it.
40 amps is basically the limit I would subject the RC wattmeter to continuously, and only with my 8awg modifications. I have passed 85 amps through it briefly.
My soldering skills have improved vastly lately, and I only just put on some reading glasses for the first time last week. I knew I was farsighted, but never realized how much better one can see little details with reading glasses.
But They scramble my brain when I move my head, and make me nauseated.
That one sensitive Wattmeter i Linked, I sent off with the project. I want to order another one modify it with 8awg and 45amp powerpoles, and keep it for myself.
But I do not need another one.
I've also gotten good at fitting 8awg into 45 amp powerpoles. Crimped and soldered.
Reading glasses on the end of your nose, and wear them while walking around, and you'll adapt to tilting head down and looking over them when you don't need them, and head up and looking through them when you really do need them for reading. Your brain will get used to the new apparatus hanging off your ears and on the end of your nose, it takes a year or so, but trust me, the nauseated feeling does go away, and your brain does adapt to the new feature for your eyeballs.
