Larry,

Thank you for the referral to this item. Unless I'm missing something:

- it lacks the ability to provide % of full;

- it lacks a charge efficiency factor, and can thus develop an accumulated error;

- the accumulated error can be manually cleared but not automatically;

- it requires a separate 9-30VDC power supply, most likely a wall wart AC power supply;

- it looks as though it would work with a 100A/50mV shunt, but I'm not sure.

Am I correct about these?

Allan

Wrenches,
I have an upcoming remote residential off grid upgrade job that uses one of the 
rare Michigan Energy Works inverter/charger/controller packages, this one from 
1997, which the homeowner wants to continue using. The package uses a 120 volt 
nominal array (10 x BP90 in series) and a 144V nominal battery bank. I'm adding 
array (6 x 60-cell generic), replacing batteries (FLA with VRLA), and updating 
disconnects and overcurrent protection. Can anyone suggest a user-friendly 
system monitor that will work with this system voltage, something akin to a 
TriMetric 2020 or 2030? I can't think of one that will work with a system 
voltage this high. Mostly I'd like the percentage function for a nontechnical 
homeowner.

Thank you, Allan
