37 TriMetric , Flexcharge and Solar Converters Battery System Monitors

We stock the Trimetric 2025 a and the 2025 rv amp hour meters by
Bogart Engineering and the Flexcharge battery voltage monitor
along with dc shunts by Deltec Co., and a low voltage battery system
alarm by Solar Converters, Inc.

These are an important part of an alternative energy, RV or backup system,
be it Solar, Wind or Hydro as well as generator based systems.

Emergency, recreational vehicle and back up power systems as well as
remote monitoring systems can also benefit from battery condition monitoring.

Currently we have three Tri Metric 2020 monitoring systems running at our location.

To see why we use the Bogart Engineering Trimetric's  please click onto the
following link:


A recording amp hour meter such as the Tri-Metric 2025A or RV allows you to
quickly and easily check the state of charge of your battery bank at a glance.

It records the power going into and out of a battery bank which is the most
accurate method of determining the state of charge.

Unlike using voltage or electrolyte specific gravity measurments, the
Trimetric 2025 is not affected by recent charging or discharging of the batteries.

The TriMetric also allows you to check, at any time, to see if power is going
into or out of your batteries.

A battery voltage monitor works well with a system where only voltage
monitoring is needed.
They are simple to install and easy to use.

A Solar Converters low voltage alarm can play an important part
in a critical application battery system by warning you when the
system voltage drops below a preset voltage.


With the cost of batteries today, monitoring your battery system's
operation can save a great deal of money, not to mention the
inconvenience of a damaged battery bank.

Everything priced on this page is in stock.

We ship Monday through Saturday.


Tri-Metric models 2025A and 2025RV Battery Monitor Amp-Hour
Meters are Manufactured by Bogart Engineering.
These amp/watt-hour meters are for 12, 24 or 48 volt battery systems.
It reads volts, amps and amp-hours on an LED display.
Amp-hours can be displayed in actual amp-hour numbers or in % of
battery full.
An LED lights when the battery is charging and flashes when the battery(s)
has been fully charged.
Another LED flashes when the batteries should be recharged, equalized and
during low voltage.
It also records minimum and maximum voltage, days since batteries were last
charged, days since equalized and total lifetime amp-hours withdrawn from the
batteries.
These can also display voltage from a secondary battery bank.

By using four conductor wire the TriMetric can be located a distance away
from the batteries for ease of use.
Using 22 ga. wire the maximum distance is 55 feet.
Using 18 ga. wire the maximum distance is 150 feet.
It can be placed farther away if heavier wire is used.

A shunt is required for operation.

Use the 500 amp shunt for systems with a maximum continuous current of 400
amps with no overloads or 300 amps continuous with up to 5 minute overloads
to 500 amps maximum.   
This allows amp readings as low as 0.10 amps.
These are suitable for virtually all systems with moderate or large size inverters.


Use the 100 amp shunt for systems with a maximum current of 75 amps
continuous with no overloads or 50 amps continuous wtih overloads to 100 amps
for 8 seconds maximum.
These are suitable for small systems or for most applications where you want
to measure only alternative energy input and load output current.
This allows amp readings as low as 0.01 amps.


The TriMetric 2025A and 2025RV battery voltage monitors are similiar
to the earlier Tri-Metric 2020's with a few notable exceptions.

First off, they will operate with 12, 24 or 48 volt d.c. battery systems with
no voltage adapter required.

They can compute and display either Amps or Watts.  

The 2025RV has its own housing (app. 5-1/4" tall by 3-1/8" wide by 1-5/16" thick)
for surface mounting while the 2025A mounts in a double gang box like the
earlier 2020's.

They also have built-in lightning protection.

This is a full battery system monitor like the earlier Tri-Metric 2020 but in
addition it will allow you to check the voltage of an auxillary battery bank.

They are designed to be easier to operate than the Tri-Metric 2020.

The TriMetric handles a battery bank of up to 2500 amp hours.
The positive lead to the TriMetric should be protected with a 1 or 2 amp fuse.

____________________

Please note - if you always run your batteries at a low state of charge,
an amp hour meter loses its accuracy.
This is because as batteries are kept at a low state of charge, they
permantly lose storage capacity.
