Looking to instal a battery monitor on my 44. Do not have an inverter to worry about. Do I go with the Xantrex LinkLite, LinkLitePro, or the Link 20? OR something else?

I like my Link but here is what Maine Sail likes: http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/boat_projects .
The Victron BMV-600 is less money and easier to install... Don't forget that with the Link monitors you still need to purchase the connection kit...
Maine Sail - Just read your "Rant" about AGM's and battery switches. My boat (Hunter 44) is equipped with two on/off battery switches; one for the house bank, and one for the start. There is a seperate third bank - bow thruster battery -charging off the alternator like a car battery and, in my opinion, not in need of monitoring. What settings do you recommend for my 2 on/off switches? My take is that the batteries are effectively isolated by the seperate switches and I can run with them both in the on position - I think.
