Magnum Energy Battery Monitor Kit

Monitor your battery status at a glance

The Magnum Energy Battery Monitor Kit makes the complex task of monitoring battery levels easier! Acting as a “fuel gauge” for your batteries, it monitors their state of charge (SOC) and then provides this information in an easy-to-understand display via the ME-ARC or ME-RC remotes. With accurate SOC readings, you can avoid unnecessary battery recharging, saving on fuel and long-term maintenance costs.

If you already have a Magnum Inverter/Charger and Remote (ME-ARC or ME-RC) (requires remote rev 2.0 or higher), this battery monitor kit is an easy retrofit. Simply install according to the installation manual and begin monitoring your battery bank via the “Meter” button.
