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!
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.
I have several battery operated devices - mainly locks, motion sensors and door sensors. What would be nice is an app that tracks when batteries are changed. This could be done my whenever the battery level increases to 100%, or possibly 90%.
What about the community app "Device Activity Check" ? That checks for anything that hasn't been active for a time that you set. For example my window sensors report temperature etc several times a day so if they haven't done so for several hours it notifies me and I can assume the battery is flat (or it's fallen off the mesh)
The Device Activity Check is a good suggestion. But what I would really like is an app that outputs a table showing when a battery device had it's battery replaced (i.e. when the battery level reached 100%.
@krlaframboise's Simple Device Viewer is another simple to set up app that lets you see the battery state of all your devices. It has both a simple text view as well as a graphical view:

I just find the reported battery levels on most devices are just nowhere near anything accurate enough to be helpful. A combination of DAC and knowing when the battery was changed is probably going to be as accurate as it gets. I wonder if it's possible to write an app that can read from a table held in the file space, which has device name, date of new battery, and number of days old you want to be reminded to check it. Then when that time has elapsed on any device, the app sends a notification.
There are some custom drivers that do report a battery replaced date that can be reset using a button. So I suppose it is something that could be implemented but if this was to be done on all the system drivers it would be a mammoth task. I'm not sure this is something that would be implemented.

You could also use the Built-In notifications app to do some basic monitoring and alerting of battery levels. I predominantly use it to monitor battery levels for more predictable devices like tablets (reporting to HE using Tasker) and my Logitech keyboard and mouse (reporting to HE using my driver and third-party PC app).
If you want to track battery type and battery change dates for batteries, two apps that @thebearmay recently released can help you with that. @terminal3 posted about the one used to write the data, and there is second app that you can use to read the data. They do require a manual processes but I find using them together very useful as well.
We could do with the ability to edit a file directly, so that the user can easily update the battery change dates and make changes to how many days before warning. Though the direct edit mode does carry risks of poor formatting breaking the app. More complicated to add all that to the app, but it's probably going to be the only way. Read lines into array, allow direct poking of fresh data into array via app, write out file again...
The Renogy 12V Battery Monitor is an excellent addition to any solar system and will eliminate the guesswork from battery usage. This 12V Battery Monitor is able to monitor the amperage flowing out of the battery bank and will give an accurate state of charge reading on the LCD screen. Improve the overall performance and longevity of your battery bank today!
Thanks, was able to get the voltage to work. Current is still messing with me. Tried every combination of pins. At least I can fly now, before it would shut down due to low battery voltage. I will keep plugging away at it.
Thanks for sharing your settings. I tried above settings, but following worked best for my setup:

An affordable battery monitor that does exactly that: providing critical information about the status of your battery bank under all circumstances. Moreover it will warn you when your battery bank is empty. Also displays the remaining time until your battery needs to be charged and stores special battery status events.
The Masterlink BTM-III battery monitor provides an accurate indication of the current, amperage, remaining time and remaining capacity of battery bank 1, and the current and estimated capacity of battery banks 2 and 3. The built-in microprocessor calculates the remaining capacity and stores historic data.
The LinkLITE battery monitor is a battery shunt that can measure currents up to 1,000Amps. It selectively displays voltage, charge and discharge current, consumed amphours and remaining battery capacity. It is equipped with an internal programmable alarm relay, to run a generator when needed or to turn off devices when the battery voltage exceeds programmable boundaries.
Just yesterday I migrated from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20.04.In 18.04 there was a software called "Battery Monitor" that monitors your battery percentage and notifies you when your battery percentage as reached low level.
i want to know my design will be stable on not?. i measured the voltage using internal adc @ 30ms interval & latched the mosfet 2ms before to read the ADC. i have used TPS62740 since i am using Li-ion battery.
One issue with you circuit is that when the transistor is off, no current flows through the resistors and you will get the battery voltage directly on the IO-pin. The best way to do this is to use a PMOS instead, but you will need to add a NPN-transistor to drive this.
Hello, I am using the following circuit to measure the battery voltage using the ADC of the CC2540. The battery voltage range that I am measuring is between 3.6V to 6.0V. I am using an npn transistor and MOSFET to control when I measure the voltage via the voltage divider. The resistor values of the voltage divider are 64.9K and 15K. For a 6.0V input voltage I expect the input voltage to the ADC to be approximately 1.126volts which it is. When we enable the ADC to make a measurement the voltage input to the ADC increases to 1.980 volts. Any idea why we are seeing this behavior in our circuit. A PDF of schematic with battery monitor circuit is also attached.
The ME-BMK/ME-BMK-NS is a single battery bank amp-hour meter that monitors and provides important information about the condition of the battery. This information will let you know how much energy you have available, and let you plan your electrical usage to ensure the battery is not being over-discharged.
The ME-BMK is easy to install and is designed to be networked with a Magnum Energy inverter/charger using a remote (ME-RC50 or ME-ARC50) or router (ME-RTR) to display information about your battery bank.
Batteries, given their chemical nature, are prone to wear, corrosion, leakage and outright failure due to events like short circuits and lightning strikes. Given their propensity to fail and to have decreased performance over time, it is important to be able to identify and monitor their performance.
It can measure voltage up to 65V and current up to 60A using an integrated shunt. It then calculates power (W), energy (Wh), charge (Ah), battery state-of-charge (SOC %), and estimated time left until the battery is fully discharged.
PowerMon is equipped with a Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) radio. You can use your cellphone or tablet to connect to it and check what your equipment is doing. Install PowerMon in a battery box or equipment bay and forget about it.
If you need to monitor current higher than the 60A internal shunt is rated for, you can do so! PowerMon can be wired to any external shunt, up to 1000A. Also, it's important to note that whether you are using the internal or external shunt, you can place it on either the positive or negative side.
The capability of driving a relay opens up a lot of possibilities. You can use either a mechanical relay or a solid-state relay for various applications, such as a remote ON/OFF switch, battery protection, or even starting a generator.
