Hey folks
I'm working on building a super cheap ($50) battery monitor and need some info as I'm thinking I could turn this into a business. My assumptons are:
You already have volts and amp meters.
You do not need AH displayed but would like to know the state of charge of your battery banks.
You would like to know if the bank is charging or discharging.
Info I need:
max current drawn from your battery bank?
Size in AH of your battery banks?
The distance from your battery bank to the nav station?
Number of banks you have. (1+start)(2+start)(etc)
I'm thinking that a set of LEDs that indicate 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and full charge for each bank and two LEDs that indicate charge or discharg would be sufficient for a bare bones system.
Thanks
