Recommendation for amp/hour monitors?

(I searched the archive for the term "amp/hour monitor" and came up completely empty -- am I asking the wrong question?? But there are quite a few for sale out there, so this item does exist. Please forgive me if this question has been asked and answered many times, but I could not find a prior discussion on point.)

Anyway, I understand that monitoring the voltage gives me the state of charge, which can roughly tell me how many amp/hours I still have in the battery. The problem, of course, is that the voltage reading varies for a lot of reasons -- temperature, how much load there was on the battery a few minutes ago, etc. I am hoping that someone can recommend an after-market device that will indicate remaining amp/hours.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
  • Bogart trimetric. Easy to use. If you go solar their sc2030 30 amp controller works works well and communicates with the trimetric for full adjutment. You dont have to pay mppt prices for good performance. OR you could do the geometric and a morningstar controller without their monitor. You'd think I was breaking bread with handybob today. ;)
  • That's a tough search.. if you searched that exact phrase. In Advanced, I tried 'amp hour' (exact) first, followed by Search within results= 'monitor.' (It's not amp/hr..it's amp-hour). Or it could be amp-hour, or meter, or monitor.. yikes!
