Got the Renogy 500a monitor installed in the Truck Camper and it does what I wanted it to. :)
Especially it shows the amps tapering at my setting of constant 14.7 Vabs to where amps taper below 1 amp for my 200AH bank where it is Full according to specs (1/2 an amp per batt). So I know when it is Ok now to drop to spec Float voltage. Got to have a read of both voltage and amps for that episode, and it does it as well as the Trimetric. (I have an adjustable voltage-manually--converter as the charger)
It does show AH going up and down like I want, but not in the same way as the Tri, so I have to get used to that for calculating SOC the way I do it. I don't do it the "proper way" with the Tri either so it is all good for my purposes.
I ignore the right side of the Renogy display which has all useless info for my requirements. (Percent full, Time left, and Watts something or other) I might just put tape over all that, no big deal.
It is very annoying when showing charging by pulsing the lighting bright and dim. So I have it in a closet where I only see it when I want to :)
The manual is useless on the settings menu for pushing all the buttons.
However Renogy has a short video that is better on how to work the buttons. Google, "Renogy monitor video".
That Renogy video is still not all the way clear (to me anyway), but there are many more videos that come up too on that Google search, which I have not looked at yet. I hope those will help if I need more button pushing lessons for "my application" (as computer button pushers like to talk like :) ) after I use it for a while.
Bottom line is I got what I wanted for a decent price, so all is good. It seems there is more that it can do than I need it for, but you would have to learn more from those videos I guess.
