Bogart TM-2030-A, Battery System Meter
Bogart Engineering TM-2030-A > Battery System Meter with Fuse
The ™ 2030 is intended to keep you informed about 12V to 48V battery systems, such as ones found in RV’s or off grid homes—which are regularly charged and discharged and use “deep cycle” batteries. The TM2030 may also be used with the new, optional Bogart Engineering SC-2030 30 amp solar charger. These two will together allow both flexible and accurate solar charging and comprehensive monitoring of batteries.
- Battery % full, based on amp hour measurements for accurate information on how much battery energy is left. This method is more accurate than monitors that use only voltage to determine how full your batteries are—especially when they are between 30-90% full.
- Battery charging or discharging amps—or watts; To check that chargers are still charging at proper amounts—also to check to see how much your loads are drawing—and to discover phantom 24 hour loads that you may not know about.
- Battery volts (9.0 to 75): to verify that chargers are charging to correct voltage for your batteries.
- Audible low battery alarm, based on volts and % full. May be silenced.
- Days since charged: ; Shows how many days have elapsed since batteries were last fully charged. Batteries can lose ability to hold charge if this becomes too long.
- Days since equalized: A reminder to equalize at appropriate time if you do manual equalizationsReplaced percentage of charge, compared to most recent discharge--Many battery company experts are now recommending that when recharging, 110-115% of recently withdrawn energy be replaced for wet cell Lead acid batteries—and 104-108% for AGM types. This new function makes it easy to know.
