This is probably a dumb question, but is the NiCad battery UL listed?
Most batteries are not.

I don't know of any listed battery monitors. Not sure what spec they
would be tested to ?
However...
In Canada, I have heard of systems being individually blessed by
inspectors or whoever that
include products that don't have listings but everything in the system
had to have a listing.
I know that this was done for our wind Clipper in Canada not long ago.
Email me directly and I can try to find the particulars of that
situation if it might help here.
Thanks,

Just to clarify, MidNite has two (2) battery monitors.... Sort of...
The MNBCM that Tom referred to is a shunt-less voltage monitor that
lets you know when
the battery has not received an Absorb charge cycle for 1 week and 2
weeks. It also has
somewhat of a voltage meter. It is purely based on battery voltage
and looks for the rise
in voltage for an accumulated of around 2 hours or so... It has a
semi-circle of LEDs on it.
Then the Whizbang Junior is a 500A @ 50 mV shunt tack-on circuit
board that connects to
the MidNite Classic or Kid charge controllers that calculates State
Of Charge based on
Amp-Hours in and out of the bank.

The Midnite battery monitor requires a shunt, it piggybacks onto
that shunt.

Look at either the BlueSky IPM Pro Remote with shunt or the
Schneider Battery monitor. The MidNite Battery monitor is more
basic as it has no shunt

*Subject:* [RE-wrenches] UL/CSA listed battery monitor?
I have a client who needs a monitoring system for a 48V nominal
NiCad battery bank on a boat. It's 4 parallel strings of 6V
batteries. (Not ideal, I know) It's a passenger boat in Canada
so all electrical devices need to be UL/CSA listed. None of the
Bogart Engineering monitors are listed.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!
