Re: [Electric Boats] Battery Meter for Electric Boat

Walt,

Don't get distracted by the "Watts Up" meter from WattsUpMeters. They are 120v AC meters only.

The meter that Denny is referring to is the Watt's Up DC meter from RC Electronics http://www.rc-electronics-usa.com/ Their meter is rated to only 50A continuous and 100A peak, but there are 2 models, the WU100 and the R102 with higher Ah and Wh limits. Both models list price around $60 US.

Also the Link 10 was discontinued and replaced by the XBM. The XBM has now been discontinued and replaced with the LinkLite and LinkPro, which I mentioned in a previous response, but they are both limited to 12v or 24v systems.

Fair winds,
