Title: Battery Monitor
Post by: Lochie0811 on September 21, 2016, 01:16:30 PM
Afternoon campers,

Today I purchased a Victron Battery Monitor for my Camel from Battery World in Brookvale, Sydney for $200. The guy said he bought a few and can't shift them. RRP is $425. He said, spread the word as he has 3 left and will let them go for $200.
Model is BMV 600S and does dual batteries.
Cheers.

Ok - looks like I got stitched with the sales pitch, although $200 seems a good deal.

I recently got the sidewinder monitor hooked up to my vsr and it works great.
Alot cheaper and can link the batteries for winching or cranking assist ect

602 is the old redundant model too I'm sorry to say.
700 and 702 have been released now 700 is $205 delivered and i cant recall how much the 702 was as i was only after the 700 for myself - not much dearer for the 702 if i recall.

Not to worry. I'm sure it will still do the job.
