500A Battery Monitor With Shunt
The Renogy Battery Monitor is designed to monitor performance for most kinds of batteries. Its high-precision measurements will eliminate the guesswork from battery usage and improve your battery bank's overall performance and longevity!
It is a universal battery monitor that you can use with voltage ranging from 10V to 120V and up to 500A.
The backlight will automatically shut down when the charging current is ＜100mA and only 1 mA Standby Dissipation. This battery monitor is equipped with data storage capacity. It automatically saves the last testing data when its power is off.
This monitor gives you high precision current detection and accurate battery state of charge. You can also set an alarm for high or low current voltage. When the alarm is activated, the backlight and voltage value will be shown on the screen to alert you on what to do when you reach the cut-off voltage.
The package includes the LCD interface, 500A shunt, transparent shunt holder, 20 ft shielded wire, and B+ wire. The shunt holder makes it very convenient to mount the shunt while the long shielded wire allows you to monitor the status of your battery from a distance.
The Renogy Battery Monitor can't be exposed to 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.

The Battery Monitor is a good idea for anyone without a smartphone or who doesn’t mind staying close to their system to keep tabs. This monitor can also work with all sorts of other battery applications, such as golf carts, electric scooters, medical devices, etc.
The Bluetooth Module caters to anyone with a smartphone or tablet and those who want a bit more freedom in keeping tabs on their system.
Renogy LifePO4 Battery has an RJ45 communication port connected with BT-2 and monitors the battery data directly from the APP.
Lead-acid battery has no communication port, and the Bluetooth module detects battery data from the charge controller.

Just started using it but very pleased with the function.
I have sent in an email but the monitor does not let me move the cuser rt and left to set my parameters
I am beginning my mini van camper electrical setup and did not want to jump all the way in to full solar yet. I started with 2 100amp renogy batteries, a 700 watt inverter and this battery monitor. The monitor was easy to install and it looks and works great. When there is a current draw it shows amperage and wattage of electricity being used
I have spent over an hour on the phone with tech support,told to make a video of the problem, I sent it in and still haven’t heard anything from you guys.
Extremely disappointed and ready to rip all Renogy equipment out of my van.
Nice little monitor. Works well
Since the Renogy system I bought did not have a readout on it, this battery monitor has made it a no brainer.
The monitor was extremely easy to install. It provides the info I need to monitor the 2 new Renogy 200 amp hour batteries I installed with it. Everything is of high quality.
The only thing I wish it had was a longer cable so I could mount the monitor inside my 5th wheel.
The batteries arrived quickly and well packaged. I opened one box to get out the instructions because I wanted to make sure I understood them before doing anything. After reading through I noted that in Step 6 they talk about how to connect them to power supple devices and then say that you need to balance them. Although I understand why it was done like this I think it should be revised to talk about the balancing before the installation. The dropping them down into the box was easy with the handles and I was able to work them into the tight space. Then I proceeded to hook them up. To my surprise a few weeks after is when I received the shunt and so now I have to unhook everything to connect them. This may sound easy but it is not a task I look forward to. I wish they would have arrived at the same time so everything could have been installed at the same time. Since then I have had no issues and everything in my RV is working splendidly.
Quality product excellent service!!!!
Haven’t installed yet. Excellent instructions but should be a surface mount like my old Xantrex.
I'm very disappointed.
1. I didn't know that I needed to fabricate a battery cable.
2. All previous shunts I have worked with mounted directly to the battery so the lead could be as short as possible for accuracy
2. I may not be able to use the shunt because of limited space.
The 500A Battery Monitor works as advertised, described and promised. Recommended product.
Like the display but needs a surface mount bracket.
-The new battery monitor+ shunt is operating well, to my knowledge.
-In this case, I used the shunt + 20ft shunt cord from an EARLIER model monitor+shunt set to connect to the NEWER model monitor+shunt set that I just bought; I did not want to disconnect the EARLIER shunt/20ft wire.
-ONE PROBLEM : The battery monitors do not indicate 'charging' from solar.
I sure wish directions were more in layman’s terms. A how to video would be helpful as well.
I’ll try and find something on YouTube. Still not imstalled
I love the informationI get, easy to read.
Instructions and setup was very easy as well.
Thank you
I'm waiting for the guys to install the solar on my van I'm excited
Instructions are a little unclear
Great product. Heavy duty plastic mounting plate holding the solid brass shunt and circuit board. Easy battery power hookup. Nice 3/8 battery cable posts with washers for tight connections. Had to slightly modify the plastic to swap the position of shunt for easy mounting on MY location with 3 machine bolts.
Would have gave it 5 stars but it didn’t come with a surface wall mount for the display.
Never received it. Called customer service and they said they'd send a new one and notify me when it was in transit. That never happened. I live in SoCal so this shouldn't be so difficult. I previously had a good opinion of Renogy but this is a little ridiculous.
Works as expected with nice size screen with info. Mounting could be better with screws and cover plate instead of push in tabs.
Seems to be working great Move it into the bathroom for a night light Does it ever go dark??
It's been working well.
Works great
Works as advertised, easy to install.
On my last trip the shunt reset itself to the factory setting of 100ah while I was just sitting in my trailer. Waiting to see if this happens again. It should have Bluetooth
Well you asked, it was the cheapest battery monitor and I got what I paid for = which was low quality and unreliable. Should have spent more for better.
Would not buy again. Luck, DanA
It's amazing to me how accurate the current reading is with such a low resistant shunt. I appreciate all the features it has.
I am disappointed in the fact I can't use it to predict how much running time I have left, which is what I bought it for. It seems to predict remaining charge on battery voltage and not on integrating discharge rate. If I have, let's say, 70% charge left and I run the genny to make coffee, I'm back up to 100% when I shut the genny off. I have a 225Ah AGM battery. It's untrustworthy when there are intermittent moments of charge, like on a cloudy day.
Inaccurate readings and always needed to be recalibrated.. I think it was in my rig for 2 months before I threw it in the garbage.
