Description
With the Adventure Kings 12V Battery Monitor (*PATENT APPLIED FOR) you can easily keep an eye on and control the power coming in and out of your auxiliary battery. Designed, engineered and rigorously tested by IntelliQuip Solutions; the same Aussie engineering team that developed the Adventure Kings DC-DC chargers, this is a smart bit of kit that is easy to install and instantly takes your 12V system to the next level.
First it gives you an instant read out of the battery voltage and the amount of current (in amps) that is either being charged into your battery or is coming out of your battery to power gear like fridges, camp lighting or other 12V Accessories.
It’s smart too and calculates the sum of the current. So, if your solar is providing 10 amps, but your accessories are drawing 2 amps, it will display 8 amps! This makes it easy to ensure your system is working correctly and you’re not over discharging your battery.
To prevent battery damage and over discharge it has a built in low voltage disconnect too. That means that if your accessories draw too much power out of the battery, it will disconnect them until the battery recovers or recharges – at that point it will automatically reconnect so your accessories continue working properly.
It also has an over-voltage protection setting to protect your batteries from over-charging – and importantly all the parameters can be changed – so you can set the low point, recovery point and high voltage point to suit your setup. No more relying on a pre-set low voltage that’s way too low and risks permanently damaging your batteries!
It also features an over current cut-off that you can set between 5 and 100 amps – this is ideal for preventing your battery being discharged too much or too quickly due to appliance faults or short circuits.
The Adventure Kings Battery Monitor suits batteries or battery banks between 80 and 360AH capacity. Plus, there are selectable profiles for lead acid, AGM or calcium battery types which allow the Battery Monitor to display an estimate of the remaining battery capacity with an easy percentage displayed on screen.
Built into a tough and compact housing that’s able to work in harsh conditions from -10 to 60°C, as well as offering an easy to diagnose LED status indicator and very low standby power use (with a built in, programmable sleep mode that turns off screen illumination), this is the ideal way to monitor and protect your 12V setup!
