Shunt: A device that allows electric current to pass around another point by creating a low-resistance path. In battery monitors, it measures the current flowing in or out of the battery.

Ah (Ampere-hour): A unit of electric charge, representing the capacity of a battery. 1Ah means the battery can supply 1 ampere of current for 1 hour.

BMS (Battery Management System): An electronic system that manages a rechargeable battery (cell or battery pack), such as by monitoring its state, calculating secondary data, reporting that data, protecting the battery, controlling its environment, and/or balancing it.

Key Features ✨

  • 📊 Precise Data: LiTime battery monitor displays include battery voltage/current/power and capacity, remaining charge/discharge time, charge/discharge indicator, and capacity percent.
  • 💡 Backlight Display: It has a backlight for easily using at night or in low-light conditions.
  • 🔊 Buzzer Alarm: This battery shunt monitor features an alarm. When the voltage/capacity is lower than the set value, the LCD display will flash, and the buzzer will alarm every 10 seconds.
  • 🛠️ Easy to Install: The shunt can be stably placed or mounted on a flat surface by the shunt holder. The monitor display is simple to install as it’s fixed by tabs. (The manual provides very detailed installation instructions).
  • 🔋 For 8-120V Battery: The lithium battery monitor suitable for 8-120V, 0-500A, 0.1-9999AH battery bank. Auto-recognition for different batteries, such as Li-ion, LiFePO4, Gel, AGM, etc.

Note: After the monitor is correctly connected and the LCD display is normally on, follow the User Manual steps to complete the monitor setup for accurate readings.

More About Your LiTime Battery Monitor 🤔

Get the most out of your batteries! This monitor helps you understand exactly how much power you have and how long it will last. It’s perfect for RVs, boats, golf carts, solar setups, and more.

🌟 Benefits

  • Know Your Power: See real-time voltage, current (amps), power (watts), and remaining capacity (Ah and percentage). No more guessing!
  • Protect Your Investment: Avoid draining your batteries too low or overcharging them, which can shorten their lifespan. The alarm warns you before potential issues occur.
  • Plan Your Energy Use: See the estimated remaining run time based on your current usage, helping you manage power better, especially off-grid.
  • Works with Many Batteries: Automatically detects and works with common types like LiFePO4, AGM, Gel, and Lead-Acid within the 8V-120V range.
  • Peace of Mind: Easily track your battery health and performance with one simple device.

🚀 Usage Instructions

Setting up is straightforward:

  1. Connect the Shunt: Attach the shunt to the main negative cable coming *directly* off your battery bank’s negative terminal. All loads and chargers should connect to the other side of the shunt, not the battery terminal itself.
  2. Wire the Monitor: Connect the monitor screen to the shunt using the provided shielded cable.
  3. Connect Power: Run the red power wire from the monitor’s power input to your battery bank’s *positive* terminal.
  4. Configure Settings: Power on the monitor. Follow the manual to input your battery’s total capacity (Ah), the voltage when fully charged, and the voltage when empty (or minimum safe voltage). This calibration is crucial for accurate readings!

🧼 Care Guidelines

  • Keep the monitor screen clean and dry. Avoid direct water exposure.
  • Ensure the shunt connections remain tight and free of corrosion. Check periodically.
  • Operate within the specified temperature range (14°F to 140°F / -10°C to 60°C) for best performance and longevity.
  • Make sure the shunt is securely mounted using the holder so it doesn’t move around.

❓ FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

  • What battery types does it work with? It’s compatible with most common rechargeable batteries between 8V and 120V, including Lithium-ion (Li-ion), Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4), Gel, AGM, and traditional Lead-Acid batteries.
  • What does the shunt actually do? The shunt is like a precise measuring tool for electricity. All the current going into or out of your battery passes through it, allowing the monitor to accurately measure amps and calculate capacity.
  • How does the low battery alarm work? You can set a minimum voltage level and/or a minimum capacity percentage in the monitor’s settings. If the battery drops below either of these thresholds, the screen will flash, and a buzzer will beep every 10 seconds to alert you.
  • Is it difficult to install? Most users find the installation relatively simple by following the included manual. It involves connecting a few wires (shunt to battery negative, monitor to shunt, monitor power to battery positive). The included holder makes mounting the shunt easy.
