e-xpert lite
High precision battery monitor
Description Operating your battery bank without
good metering is like running your car without any gauges, although possible to do, it's always better to know how much fuel is left in the tank. Defining the amount of energy available in a battery is a complex task since battery age, discharge current and many other factors influence the actual battery capacity. The e-xpert lite uses the same very accurate measurement and calculation systems as the high-end e-xpert pro.
The e-xpert lite selectively displays voltage, charge­and discharge current, consumed amphours and remaining battery capacity. Using a clear backlit LCD and an intuitive user interface, all parameters can be recalled with just a button press. A second battery input is also provided to monitor an auxiliary battery. A large bargraph delivers instant state of charge information.
Compared to the e-xpert pro, the e-xpert lite is a more basic instrument, perfectly suited for users focused on accurate state of charge readout and very easy setup.
