ASD relay is Auto shut down relay and basically a standard 30 amp Bosch relay. If it does not get triggered, no fuel, no ignition, but engine will crank until the battery is dead. Dodge Van related, not RV battery monitor related.
I would not mind testing a 20$ battery monitor. A few years back I used a 15$ 100 amp rated shunted ammeter/voltmeter, that used the same shunts as these 20$ battery monitors now avalable. I could not calibrate it to read 2 amps and 40 amps accurately. It was one or the other.
Unless I could test one of the 20$ battery monitors myself, I would not put much faith in the amperage display, nor the AH from full readings and certainly not the % screen, if one exists.
But even if it is not so accurate, it is a heck of a lot better than only a voltmeter, or three lights.
