I have been using these bayite meters for almost three years now, not only in my travel trailer, but in my shed solar setup. The CHARGE and DISCHARGE meters in my photos are my original meters purchased in April 2019 and the SOLAR and INVERTER meters are the newer models ordered in April 2022. The only differences I can discern is the button on the front. The older meters had a recessed button and you needed a pen or pin to press it, whereas the newer model has a low profile button but can easily be pressed with just a finger, no device needed.The picture attached is before I upgraded the system: 10A controller with 200W solar array (upgrading to a 30A and 300W next) and these pictures were taken under partial tree shade in the late afternoon sun. The TT is running a 2000W modified sine wave inverter off a 385AH flooded lead acid battery bank, which powers mostly a residential mini fridge in the TT outside kitchen, wired through a 120V manual transfer switch to the GFCI outlets. You can see that the INVERTER load from the fridge is about 6A, while the solar output is about 4A, which correlates to the almost 2A battery discharge (including other low current devices: RV fridge circuit board, USB outlets, display lights).This type of setup is great for monitoring and measuring the performance of your batteries and solar system and if you have enough solar available or if your inverter loads are too much. To see what your actual amp-hour draw is, divide the ENERGY output by 12 (or whatever voltage you are running) to get AH so you can size your battery bank appropriately. My setup needs about 186 AH max per day and I am adequate on capacity but really should add an additional 100AH (of course I should add an additional 100W of solar too, but really there isn’t a hard ceiling to the max specs, just mind your budget). I boondock occasionally, but consider myself more of a touring adventurer, meaning I drive long distances in between destinations and camp mainly overnight in the forest or dispersed. My tow vehicle provides charging power along with the solar panels to recharge my batteries and my last 24 hours yielded 166 AH used so I never get below 50% of my battery bank. The extra 100W will help with the charge too once complete.I 3D printed a couple of meter mounts in black ABS and mounted them outside of the RV’s control panel. I could have also flush mounted them for a lower profile look but I think they look pretty good the way they are now. I used some spare Cat 6 and some jacketed landscape wiring to run from the RV batteries to the control panel. I would recommend finding some type of stranded small gauge wire for ease of crimping onto ring terminals and heat shrink tubing to protect them from separating while attached. Using ring terminals is the most secure to attach to the shunts but you can use spades or bare wire too. A good option for mounting is directly attaching the shunt to the negative battery terminal or inverter post, just remember to attach ALL load negatives on the other side of the shunt to accurately capture all discharging loads on the meter. The diagram provided by bayite on this site in the manufacturer pictures show to connect the solar meter/shunt AFTER the controller, which is a correct installation if you want to know how much power the solar controller is sending to your batteries. Bayite also provides a link to a modified diagram where the solar meter/shunt (included in my review pictures) is connected BEFORE the solar controller, directly in line from the solar panels, which will provide the meter with information with how much power your solar panels are actually producing. Each wiring is correct but provides different information; the voltages will differ as connecting before the controller will show the solar panel voltage whereas connecting after will show the battery voltage.Your shunt may have cuts in them, which is completely normal as it’s how they’re calibrated. Other reviews here say they have cuts and that they are damaged, but that’s inaccurate. These meters are good displays especially for solar controllers that don’t have displays or don’t show enough information. Great product, great longevity, and great information displayed for nerd like me who like to watch the numbers go up and down as conditions change.
As readers of this blog will know, the cabin uses two electrical system that have a shared power supply. Each system is connected at the buss bars over the battery bank. While the 3000W pure sine wave inverter is run occasionally (well pump, microwave, TV, lights and fans during the evening hours) the 12V system is on all the time. I am a fan of ‘form follows function’ and believe that the most eloquent designs are the simplest and most appealing to the eye. Take a look at the wall with the inverter and you’ll note how I’ve kept things as clean and organized as possible without compromising safety or function.
So then, with this atitude toward simplicity why all the trouble and fuss of adding two electrical systems – 12V and 110V? Well, both have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. 12V is low-power, super efficient for small electrical loads, but poor at transmitting significant power – especially over distances. 110V is great at running heavy loads, transmitting power over distances efficiently, but in order to have that power on demand a 50-70W phantom load (baseline) is required to keep all the electronics humming and ready to convert 12V DC to 110V AC – not too good a thing when running small loads for extended periods of time.
The solution I sought out was not to compromise, but have the best of both. This also meant a lot of extra work, higher overall cost, but greater efficiency, and expanded capability from our off-grid power system. The 12V system was initially conceived out of the goal of making the cabin and garage look ‘lived in’ or ‘used’ whether or not someone is presently at the cabin. This goal was achieved with the installation of several lights on the garage, the all-star from this install being the 12V motion light on the front of the garage. The garage was relatively easy to wire since the attic is completely open and easily accessible from an access panel in the ceiling. This was the initial foray into 12V DC wiring and lighting. The success of this first install and overall function was so favorable that I began drawing up plans to add 12V to the cabin.
For the cabin, the install was much more difficult. A junction box was added to the attic in the garage, tapping into the existing 12V wiring in the garage. From there the wire was run down the wall, then out the side of the garage, trenched underground between cabin and garage, and into the cabin basement to a corresponding junction box. And wiring in the cabin was still needed – this was only the step that brought 12V power to the cabin. A lot of trouble for a few lights. But this most recent 12V wiring install ended up providing a fused junction box with the capability to wire in six independently fused 12V lines in the cabin. Currently there are two lines wired in. The first is the kitchen LED light fixture on Flexcharge 12V timer. The second is a series of four automotive DC outlets that are part of a charging station at the top of the basement stairs. The timer, fused junction box, and automotive outlets are still technically ‘a work in progress’ so I haven’t posted on them yet. This winter we studded out the basement, insulated the walls, wired a dozen or more AC outlets and rewired a few light switches. On the agenda for this year is to panel the basement (pine paneling for the stairway, four different sizes of white-ash paneling for the basement, and rough cut for the firewood room). When things come together, and the 12V electrical components are permanently fixed to the wall, I’ll prepare a proper post with some pictures. For now here is an excerpt from an updated wiring diagram:
Running the LED lights straight off of the batteries has so far yielded no problems. With LEDs advancing as they have there have been no compromises (except for initial cost at the time of purchase). As far as lighting goes, nothing weird happens with flickering or dimming lights. The only odd behavior occurred when I plugged in a NiMH batter charger into the automotive outlet of the charging station. The pulse charging from the AA/AAA charger managed to flicker the kitchen lights. It was just enough to be noticeable. Suspect appliances like this could be direct wired to the battery with their own fused line, but at this time I don’t have enough ambition to wire in a separate line (even though there is a second line buried in case something like this happened). It’s easy enough just to charge batteries during the day or when we’re asleep. The long run from the batteries in the garage, up to the attic, down the wall, underground 30-40 feet to the cabin, and then 20 more feet to the fuse block using 14-3 trench log and 18 AWG track lighting wire + another 30 feet to the interior lights and outlets has not resulted in any performance issues other than the very specific AA/AAA charger/flickering issue. Also, using traditional 110V light switches has not been an issue either. As others have suggested, AC switches may not have the expected lifespan when used in a DC system if the DC voltage is >25% the rated AC voltage of the switch. So far I can attest to no issues when following this rule.
My preference is to use lighting near 3000K for general purposes. This ‘warm’ lighting is great for a comfortable cabin adorned with wood paneling and flooring. In the kitchen and the bathroom I prefer light near 5000K to 6500K. This quality of lighting is cool and similar to ‘work bench’ lights. 6500K is great for seeing fine details, dirt, putting contacts in, et cetera. When selecting an LED to purchase trust the kelvin scale – DO NOT TRUST photos comparing several different light bulbs. On my DSLR camera I can manually set white balance – which also relies on the kelvin scale. If I were selling LED bulbs and want to make my bulb look better than the competition I would manually adjust white balance to make the LED light color characteristics look superior than the competition. One last consideration with LEDs is spectrum of light. Take a look at this graphic I borrowed from Popular Mechanics:
The important detail to take away from spectrum is that not all light sources that produce ‘white light’ do so in the same way. Since light is a balance of several colors there are infinite combinations and intensities of each color of light that can produce ‘white light’. This is why a 2700K fluorescent bulb, 2700K LED, and 2700K incandescent bulb can all look different to the human eye – despite having the same kelvin rating. If you can first see a bulb in person – do it. If you can’t, then rely on reviews and look for a kelvin rating. And always look for a lumen rating to determine how much output a bulb has.
The LEDs on the garage have handled the elements quite well. The RAB light fixtures housing the LEDs have also held up very well (good thing considering the cost). These MR16 style 2-pint base LEDs and fixtures have a slightly bluish tinge. I wouldn’t want that for interior lighting but for exterior lights the blue tinge makes the LEDs appear brighter than the 330 lumen rating and reminds me of mercury vapor yard lights – only on a much smaller scale. Inside, the triple LED fixture in the kitchen shines with 400 lumen 6500K LEDs with the E26 style screw in base. These bulbs were relatively affordable at $22 each and designed for use in campers. A conservative estimate puts the light output of 400 lumen of LED equivalent to a 30W incandescent bulb. In order to consider replacing standard light bulbs with LEDs the output is going to need to be 800-900 lumen range. The most promising replacement bulb for 110V AC applications at the moment is made by Philips. That bulb is 940 lumen, 2700K, and 10W – impressive stats. I think ultimately this bulb and others like it will lead the way in replacing CFLs. But presently at $50 I think we’re still 3-5 years away from LEDs gaining significant market share. Time will tell.
Some monitors come with a switch so that you can turn it on or off at your convenience. Others have an LCD screen making it easier to see the information even when it’s dark inside your RV while some monitors come with a Bluetooth function so that you can check the status of your battery from your smartphone or any Bluetooth-enabled device.
There are also other battery monitors that can be connected to your RV generator so that you can automatically use your generator once your RV battery reaches a certain level (preferably before it reaches 50%). This feature will help prolong the lifespan of your battery.
Lithium batteries are more expensive than deep cycle batteries. This is because they have a much longer lifespan which is around 5,000 cycles unlike deep cycle batteries that can only last until 400 or so cycles. These batteries are also small, lightweight, and has low maintenance to be maintained in tip top shape.
RV battery monitors come with different display screens that’ll show you the information they provide regarding your battery level. They also come in different sizes.
Check if your monitor comes with cables and fuses so that you can connect your battery shunt and voltage inputs to your display monitor. There are also some monitors that include temperature sensors to know the battery temperature and display this information in your screen.
When charging your battery, there should be an increase in voltage displayed on your voltage monitor. For example, you have a 12V battery. It is fully discharged at 10.5V so you need to charge it. You will know that it is fully charged when it reaches 12.6V to 12.8V.
Amps (A) – This is the unit of measurement used in electricity. It tells you the rate of the flow of current in or out of the battery. When you’re charging, you will see a positive number (6.0A). When you’re discharging or consuming electricity, it will show us a negative number (-6.0A).
It is recommended that you don’t let your batteries go below 12-volts when you check the LCD display. When this happens, it means that it is already 50% discharged or even below 50% of its state of charge. This can damage your batteries and would impact the number of deep cycles that they can provide.
When you’ve already bought your own RV battery monitoring system, it’s time to install it. Here are the basic steps in installing your monitor.Prepare a cable that is at least 18 inches . Make sure that it can run through the location where you’re going to install the display unit. It is recommended that you choose a location near the door for quick and easy access. You’ll need to drill and cut the cable so that it can go through your RV.
A mid-priced battery monitor from a solid and trusted brand simply does what it claims regarding system voltage and current monitoring. In addition, you can program high and low voltage alarms causing the display to flash to draw your attention.
A battery monitor can indicate how much power the battery is receiving, how much you’re using, and how full the batteries are. The Bayite DC Digital Voltmeter & Ammeter is an ideal budget option and provides all this information.
Installing a simple voltmeter like the Bayite is the simplest battery monitoring system. It packs a punch regarding what it can tell you about your batteries.
AGM batteries only offer around 80% of their capacity as usable energy, so this reading suggests you have an indicative 120ah of usable energy remaining.
When the battery is charging, either from shore power, the engine with a split charge relay, the battery-to-battery charger, or the solar system, the voltmeter displays the charging voltage, usually around 14.1v.
The prices of battery monitoring systems vary a LOT. Cheap and cheerful voltmeters can cost less than $10, while some high-end monitors can cost hundreds. How much you’re willing to pay to monitor your battery bank is up to you.
Hi! For a project I am designing a system of very high-power electromagnets. Each electromagnet is fed a current of around 75A. To allow them to cool, I alternate between feeding power between one and the other around every 10 seconds or so. The device is controlled by a master raspberry pi or arduino and I am struggling to figure out an effective relay type switching device that won"t break the bank. Any help?

I know these ESCs do something different but they also regulate inductors 0 - 25V up to 100A - and 100A is not the maximum. They are available for more than 100A.
Sure would! Lots of smoke otherwise. Perhaps a somewhat more generous current rating but for a 10 second turn-around that should suffice and the recovery time of the diode is unimportant.

But it would be best if you didn’t rule this model out based on its basic design. It still has many features worth getting excited about, such as its alarm function. This feature will cause the product’s screened display to flash and alert the user whenever their battery capacity’s lower than 20%.
I was also impressed with the product’s wide voltage input range, DC 12V-84V. This aspect makes a possible fit for a long list of battery types: lead-acid battery, lithium-ion battery, storage battery, water battery, lithium battery, and several others.
The product’s 3-in-1 design can provide these applications measurements of battery capacity and real-time voltage. Each of these findings will be located on an LCD digital display, equipped with a PVC waterproof screen for durability purposes.
If you’re only looking for a rig battery voltage monitor, TURN RAISE’s RV LED Voltmeter would be a suitable choice. This model will accurately keep track of your battery’s voltage and measurements will be located on its digital display.
You’ll also come across monitors capable of programming the BMS from its display screen. It’ll end up depending on what you figure will fit into your likings. I should also note that even the low-tier models will allow you to adjust both system voltage and max battery capacity.
Some RV battery monitoring systems will come with certain accessories, including things like cables and fuses. These pieces are needed for connecting the shunt and battery voltage inputs to the product’s display monitor.
You should also know that the display will show the battery’s voltage. Moreover, the monitor’s base unit will calculate the current, flowing out and in overtime. It’ll subtract or add from your battery’s capacity to showcase what percentage is left over.
You can expect BMS’s to work with various voltages; some can even handle 60V. These devices will gauge and measure the status of numerous battery types as well. A few examples of these types would gel cell, NiCad, SLA, and lead-acid.
You might also find models with a switch off/on command or button. This feature makes using the device much more natural and convenient for users. LCD display screens or display could help make things easier as well.
The screen can show needed critical info at a single glance. In fact, the most suitable options will have bright and clear displays, which allows users to check info without difficulty. These pieces of info will be displayed brightly and make them easy to read in even a low light situation.
Most camper battery monitor systems will be quite accurate with their readings. But the accuracy can vary based on your chosen model. For instance, MNJ MOTOR’s DC Multifunction Battery Monitor Meter guarantees an accuracy margin rate of 1%.
So I’d recommend paying extra for the shunt-type models. These options ensure we always get accurate readings of our battery’s voltage and draw. For instance, Renogy’s RBM500-G1 500A Battery Monitor would be a great choice.
Prepare 18-inch cable: The cable must run through the display unit’s location. It’s a step that requires a bit of cutting and drilling to ensure the cable makes it through your rig.
In most cases, the process will be simple, with the buttons located on its display. These buttons will control specific commands the device can follow. But some brands like to complicate this process more than necessary.
