Understand Your Battery Monitor
- V = Volts. Voltage is used to assess the approximate state-of-charge and to check for proper charging.
- A = Amps. Amps is the flow of current in or out of the battery.
- Ah = Amp-Hours. This shows the amount of energy stored or removed from the battery.
- h or t = Time.

Do monitors have lithium batteries?
Most of your electronic devices have lithium-ion batteries in them.
Do battery monitors work?
Voltage-based monitors are not very accurate because the real-time voltage of a battery will fluctuate based on temperature changes and other environmental conditions. If you change the battery type the voltage meter may even be completely inaccurate altogether.
How accurate are battery monitors?
What is a shunt based battery monitor?
Answer: A battery monitor shunt measure amps only on the negative side of the circuit. There is no need to intercept any current on the positive side as the negative side of the circuit sees the same amperage. As such, the battery monitor shunt needs to capture all currents going in and out of the battery negative.
Where is the trimetric located on a battery?
The TriMetric can be located hundreds of feet away from batteries using inexpensive 4-conductor twisted-pair meter wire. A shunt is required for operation.
How much does the trimetric 2030a amp-hour meter cost?
Price: $241.50 $166.95 Description Item code TriMetric 2030A amp-hour meter 028-00028 TriMetric 2030-RV amp-hour meter 028-00027 Surface mount box for 2030A 028-00026 500A/50mV shunt 028-09253
What size shunt do I need for trimetric?
The TriMetric can be located hundreds of feet away from batteries using inexpensive 4-conductor twisted-pair meter wire. A shunt is required for operation. Use the 500-amp shunt if you have a 12V inverter larger than 800 watts or a 24V inverter larger than 1600 watts.
Why do I need to monitor my batteries?
If you depend on batteries for power in your off-grid cabin, RVs, campers or boats, our monitors show how full your batteries are, if charging sources are still charging like they used to, how fast your loads are drawing power, and to check whether your batteries are still storing energy as they should.
