Now charge the battery fully and the displayed AH capacity should be the actual usable capacity. Check and reset the actual capacity: If you find the displayed capacity doesn’t match the actual capacity during use, please check and reset the actual capacity.įor Lithium batteries discharge the battery to 0% and hold the “down” key for 3s to set the capacity to 0, then set the preset capacity as large as possible.This will only have to be done on initial installation of the Renogy Battery Monitor or if the Battery Bank is replaced. Capacity calibration: On first use, the percentage and capacity are not the actual value, you need to calibrate the capacity to either 100% or 0%.įirst set the usable AH capacity of the battery as the preset AH capacity.įor Lithium and Sealed Lead Acid batteries to calibrate to 100% charge the battery fully and hold the “up” key for 3s to set the capacity to 100%įor Lithium batteries to calibrate to 0% discharge the battery completely and hold the “down” button key for 3s to set the capacity to zero.If the deviation is large, please check the connection. Then charge or discharge the battery and check whether the display current is equal to the actual current. If the screen has no response, please check the connection. Connect and check the current: Power on after completing the connection as shown, the screen should display capacity percentage.Then put The Renogy Battery Monitor into the rectangular orifice, and make sure the tabs are locked.

First, open a rectangular orifice on your equipment panel according to the size. The Renogy Battery Monitor is fixed by tabs, so it is easy to install.

The shunt must be series connected to the negative circuit, DO NOT connect to the positive circuit.

P- of shunt connects to P- of output and C- of charge.Īttention: Please connect as shown. B- of shunt connects to B- of the battery. Identification of Partsįirst, connect the Shunt in series to the negative circuit of your battery.

The Renogy Battery Monitor is suitable for lithium batteries, lead acid batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries that have voltage from 10V to 120V.

It is suitable for mobile and portable equipment, e-bike, motorcycles, electric wheelchairs, and so on. The Renogy Battery Monitor has a memory function which allows users to set a low voltage capacity alarm. The Renogy Battery Monitor is a high precision device (also known as coulometer), which can test the voltage, current, and capacity of a battery to help users know the state of charge at any time.

Please follow the battery manufacturer’s safety instructions.

Never connect a load to a battery without using fuses or circuit breakers.

Do not charge batteries in an enclosed environment unless allowed by the manufacturer of the battery.

It is the user’s responsibility to operate the equipment in a safe manner.

Wear eye protection and have fresh water available in case there is contact with the battery acid.

Be careful when working with large lead acid batteries.

Be certain there is enough ventilation to release the gases.

Explosive battery gases may be present while charging.

Do NOT let the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery touch each other.

The Renogy Battery Monitor can’t be exposed in the sun for a long time or in the environment with large amounts of ultraviolet radiation when using or storing, in winter (＜ -10℃) and summer (>60℃) otherwise the life span of the LCD will be shortened.

By displaying the charge percentage, battery monitors help keep you informed about your battery’s state of charge so that you know what actions you need to take. That’s why battery monitors are important. That’s why manufacturers of laptops and phones, whose devices uses lithium batteries, recommend to not charge their devices to 100% to prolong their usable life.īut because standard 12v batteries do not come with a percentage charge display, it is too easy to ignore a battery’s current charge. These batteries do not like the be overcharged and kept at 100% for long periods of time. Lithium batteries are similar but in the opposite sense. That’s why it is recommended not to discharge an AGM battery past 50% The more you discharge AGM batteries, the fewer charge cycles and lifespan that battery has. Oftentimes, prematurely dead batteries occur because the user unknowingly over-discharged their AGM batteries. And many times, these batteries have died prematurely. If you have been doing van life long enough, you have almost certainly meet other camper van travelers who have had to deal with dead batteries.
