Re: [Electric Boats] Battery monitors - 36v

 

Surely you could encase the unit in weatherproof box. The LCD if it has gone is easily replaced by any electronic technician but being and electronic technician retired I doubt if that is the fault, it is probably something much simpler. Open up the unit and look for burnt out parts or other obvious damage, the get a multimeter and check for voltages, etc.

I've just killed my 2nd 'expert Pro' battery monitor
(designed/manufacture by the Dutch company TBS, but OEMed and sold under
a number of brands). The device works well, but is not weatherproof, and
despite my efforts to protect the 2nd Expert Pro, it too has failed and
it looks like it's weather exposure. It's no use to me not at the
(exposed) helm, so fitting a battery monitor else where that is not
exposed is pointless.

Any one have any recommendations for a battery monitor that can take
being exposed to sunlight and getting wet ?

This Expert Pro HV may only need a replacement LCD, but I'd have to
convince TBS to sell me the part and it's apparently some what fiddly to
replace. And how long would it last under the same conditions ?
