Pardon this "dumb" post; my intent is to make RV.net more beginner friendly - not to annoy the more knowledgeable.
Say a beginning RVer wanted to buy one of these fabulous Trimetrics. Perhaps he would look up the definition of
TrimetricI respectfully suggest it would be clearer to non-experts in our community to call it a "battery monitor", perhaps mentioning that the Trimetric brand is the top of the line and most expensive one.
The best reference I see for it is right here in this forum.
Battery monitorAny decent battery monitor can show the current being drawn as well as the per cent of full charge - even the $20 ones. I love battery monitors and wish every vehicle had one for its engine battery. We just bought our first new vehicle in 14 years - it has all kinds of nearly useless things displayed but not even a battery voltage let alone a state of charge.
So what is ASD?
