Battery Monitor (NASA BM-2)
Perfect for what I was wanting- Large screen, good visibility and simple to operate.
Product cable lengths and shunt are also good.
Was going to installwire it up myself, but it's not as simple as the instructions advise- so got an electrician to install it and is all OK.
However, getting it shipped to Greece within a reasonable time, was very expensive.

battery monitor
Unfortunately, I cannot yet report on my experiences as I have not yet installed the battery monitor. Questions were quickly answered by the product manager at SVB, who was very competent. It is fun to work with professionals.

Unfortunately, there is no user manual in German, but that is also the only small criticism.

As soon as I have experience, I will report back.

The battery monitor is a leap in quality in on-board electronics
Finally no longer dependent on the voltmeter to assess the condition of the on-board electronics. You can see the consumption of each switched-on power consumer with an accuracy of 0.1 A and can thus control your consumption and charging behavior (by the machine) on the basis of safety, especially with regard to the consumption of the cooling compressor, if you have no access to shore power. To connect the starter battery, you have to look at the enclosed English instructions. Before that I was very unsure about the connection of a shunt, i.e. I imagined it to be complicated. But he is not. Under certain circumstances, however, you may need a piece of battery earth cable (at least that's how it was on my boat) so that the connection of the service and starter battery works as shown in the circuit diagram. But you can get that in auto parts stores. You can look at the operating instructions at the SVB beforehand to check that you understand the circuit diagram sufficiently.
