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.

I am very satisfied.
I am very satisfied, but there should be a detailed German description for the BM2.

I installed various NASA CLIPPER devices on my boat. I am very satisfied with all of the devices. The battery monitor displays very sensitively and can be easily installed according to the assembly instructions.

The installation is absolutely unproblematic and is quite fast. The case of the device builds pleasingly small and it is not a cutout but only a 5mm hole for the cables necessary. The device seems to be very precise ...

Hello. Intended more for boats, this product was recommended to me by an already equipped camping cariste. So I saw him on duty. It responds perfectly to the need of the car and very easy to install. Product to recommend.

Quick delivery to my desk.Straight forward installation. Now the instruments tells exactly what is going on with my batteries. I have two set of batteries and one at the time is used for all use including starter. That schema should be added in the instructions.

After trouble-free installation thanks to the supplied German manual, the device performs without hesitation and very accurately its service. The displayed values ​​correspond exactly to the operating displays of the charger and also to the temporarily connected multimeter. Conclusion: clear recommendation!

Fully filled my imagination. In addition, contrary to the description and the very good instructions, this device can simultaneously display the voltage of another battery. This is the orange cable. But just the tension. This is enough for a battery which is otherwise not continuously charged / discharged. As a rule this is the starter battery. The charge / discharge currents are then recorded for the consumption battery. BM-1 is easy to use and fairly precise.

Monitors have only just been installed; Quality will show up over the season, but I think everything will be as advertised
