Product Reviews
Solar to Charge Controller to RV battery Installation Diagram
I finally got this installed between my solar panel and my charge controller. Im not an Electrician, far from it. I had to email customer service at Bayite with a few stupid questions. They were very prompt in their replies. They sent me a diagram of how to do what I wanted and it worked perfectly. I am attaching the diagram in case anyone out there is trying to get reading from solar to charge controller to battery. Worked great for me. There are quality people who know their products and take time to address installation questions quickly and courteously. The Product works well
Excellent for monitoring battery usage in my RV
Very happy with the functionality of this unit. I’m using it to monitor energy usage in my RV. I do wish I had a better place to mount the shunt (on top of the battery) , but that’s not the fault of the unit. I can monitor both discharge and charging current by installing a DPDT switch on the leads to the shunt. By throwing the switch it reverses the polarity of the shunt connections, works perfectly. My one wish is that the reset button were not recessed. For the install I used a blank electrical plate cover. The mounting tabs are made for thin materials and since this is mounted into a 1⁄4 plywood cabinet sidewall I didn’t think it would stay put. Though if I could subtract half a star from the rating I would because I’m also not thrilled with the mounting/housing. There’s only 2 small spring tabs to hold the thing in place. I ended up epoxying it to the electrical cover plate.
Perfect for 30 Amp RV
Installed in class A RV (30 Amp Service). Used 100 amp shunt. Wired with 22⁄4 stranded alarm wire purchased at home depot for .30 cents per foot. Mounted flush adjacent to rv systems control panel. Unit works as advertised and I am very pleased. Another reviewer mentioned using a DPDT swith to use one meter to monitor both charge and discharge readings. Sounds like a good idea to me. I will update after I install the switch. For now, I have the meter measuring discharge. Wish I would have bought this years ago.Update 14 Feb 2017: I installed a double pole double throw (DPDT) on-off-on switch. This allows one meter to measure discharge or charge rates (or measure voltage only in the off position). Works perfectly. Just wire the switch to swap the two conductors hooked to the shunt. In my case this was the green and white wires. For info only….your situation may be different.Update 6 Apr 2017: For what it’s worth, my generator draws a max of 79 amps (momentarily) when cranking the starter. So the 100 amp shunt is adequate for my rv. The generator starter is my highest 12 volt house battery draw. Using this monitor, I’ve learned having my rv plugged in to shore power, while the use/store switch is in the “store” position will cause about a 13 watt constant power drain. If I disconnect the shore power, the draw goes to zero. I dont know why this is. But, its nice to know and explains why I had low batteries a few times in the past.
Excellent value
Just installed this in my new (used) class B, and I am very happy with the function and ease of installation considering the cost.I got the 100A version and I attached the shunt directly on the battery post (no base for the shunt).I used a 4 lead phone wire to connect the display to the shunt/battery and used a phone female/female coupler so that I can disconnect it if required.A couple of improvements (would be 5 stars otherwise):1) I mounted this at eye level if I am sitting. When I am standing the display LCD is hard to read (no contrast adjustment)2) You need a pointing tool to press the button. Why? I may superglue a small piece of plastic on top of the recessed button to aid this.Don’t mind the peeling paint on the wall. It is in the list of to-do’s…. (paint interior).
Perfect, except for mounting the shunt.
Bought the first while starting a solar install on my RV. No problems. Liked it enough to buy two more for more comprehensive monitoring.The display is just the right size, and wiring couldn’t be much easier. I would suggest fusing the + voltage input at it’s source, depending on what size wire you run to the display, and what you tap for monitoring. The display conductors carry minimal current, except in the event of a short. I used an 18⁄4 Belden to keep it easy.Aside from strapping the actual conductors on both sides of the shunt, there’s no great way to securely fasten the component. That makes things a little trickier in tight spaces, or enviroments where the shunt may be exposed to vibration/movement.
Works perfectly in my RV!
Wow! This device is awesome!I installed this on my RV to monitor the house batteries. I’m able to tell at a glance exactly how much power is being used by any light, appliance, phone charger, etc. It has been especially useful to me because I’m converting every single light from incandescent to LED. The energy savings, by the way, is phenomenal! I’ve been able to track down parasitic loads that I didn’t know existed! I installed kill switches on things like the TV and radio. They draw lots of power even when they are turned off!The whole device is super easy to install, and requires almost no tools or special skills.I’ll echo a few things that have been said in previous reviews:1. Follow the wiring diagram EXACTLY. It’s very easy. Don’t second guess the instructions, just follow them to the letter.2. If you are mounting this on a wall, the wall thickness must be about 1⁄8” or less in order for the mounting tabs to work. Otherwise, a little bit of hot glue will keep it in place no problem.3. You can only read the screen when your head is right in front of it. You can’t read the screen at an angle. Keep that in mind when choosing your mounting location. Mount the screen at eye level if possible, otherwise you’ll find yourself bending over to read the numbers.*If the seller reads these reviews, please try to do something about the screen! It’s annoying to not be able to read it at an angle! That’s my ONLY complaint about this device! Besides that, it’s a wonderfully awesome product!
Does what I needed it to do. Display charge/discharge info of 12 volt battery.
I wired this with DPDT switch so I could see both charging and discharging values. Works great even though apparently the switch I bought wasn’t quite what I expected.
Works as described
Fairly easy to setup with the Shunt and the instructions. Works well and displays as described with the back light able to turn off and on.
Buy 2
This is a must have for camper anything with deep cycle batterys. I purchased 2 of them and set it up on the same ground shunt to show power going in and power being used.
Five Stars
Great product
Works great just what I needed to monitor solar production.
Meter works as expected seems to be very accurate. Bayite is a pleasure doing business with, very responsive and helpful.

looks good and works good, good price and the shipping was spot on
Works for the first month
Worked for about a month, the ammeter has always been a bit odd now it doesn’t display the right voltage, my vehicle is not capeable of running 21 volts off the battery, checked…
good meter
Great meter for the price, will use again……
Great addition to my class B motorhome
comments powered by DisqusSo far, excellent. A huge improvement over the stock battery monitor, relieves my battery anxiety on my class B. It’s accurate to my $150 Klein voltmeter.
