How Electricity “Works” Volts = Pressure = Potential to create work This is accurate but is only done as a maintenance measurement. The only method that can work, only on flooded lead-acid batteries, is to measure the specific gravity of the electrolyte. The RV battery monitor is the most important part 18 I have tried to live without a battery monitor and tried to use a voltmeter as a substitute this doesn’t work. I even saw pictures of a “professional” solar install last week without fuses. So perhaps I am just dreaming that they would have a monitor.Ī good monitor is more important than another battery and more important than any other item in your electrical system, with the one exception of fuses. Some RVs don’t even have a manual shutoff switch. Voltmeters don’t tell even half the story. If you are lucky - you will have a voltmeter. ![]() Two weeks ago I met a guy that killed eight batteries (two sets) all in one year - all because he didn’t have a battery monitor and never recharged them fully. This should be on every RV from the factory and I don’t know of any RVs that have this critical component. If you install a solar charger without a battery monitor you are guessing at the state of charge. The most important part of an RV solar install isn’t the panels, controller, or battery, it is the battery monitor. ![]() If you don’t have a battery monitor then you are guessing. If your RV has a battery it needs a battery monitor. The battery monitor is the missing critical part.
