solar monitor???

Hi all,
absolutely new to the truck camper thing and would like to track battery usage/changing etc.
have a 2000 Phoenix pop-up on a 2013 Fi50. one 12 volt battery and a Renology 100 watt portable solar charger.

is anyone familiar with this:

totally new to DC stuff but good with AC.
any input would be appreciated.
thanks, Bob
  • This thing looks amazing. I'm not sure why it doesn't have twisted pair wiring but after spending a million dollars on linklite and Bluesky versions of these, you could buy almost 10 of these for the same price. Nothing to lose with those good reviews
  • That is the same monitor that I have had for 6 years now and I am quite pleased with it.
  • 100 solar watts seems light. Standard for us sunny states is one solar watt for each battery amp hour.
  • I have one of those and I'm not happy with it yet but I'm cheap and optimistic so I keep fussing with it.
