Hi,
If you are NOT using Li batteries the very best meter may be the smartgauge. It actually tracks the "real" capacity. It checks the voltage several thousand times per minute.

I don't look at my meter several thousand times per minute.
Why would my meter need to make several thousand battery voltage measurements every minute?
Read about how it works at this link: https://marinehowto.com/smartgauge-battery-monitoring-unit/
There isn't anything on that page which explains why it needs to measure battery voltage several thousand times a minute.
The word "minute" doesn't even appear on that page.
It checks 1500 per second. When I was in school a second was part of a minute. But perhaps they don't teach that anymore.
Why does that matter?

How is this a meaningful feature, and not just techno-babble?
Skibane, that's why it needs no shunt. If you want more information ask them, not me. Merry Christmas.
