leeco Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I was going to bid on this used battery monitor. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220925070195?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 The same guy also sells these new for £99 so why do people want to pay £77 for a used one. Are these moniters any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmelly Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) I was going to bid on this used battery monitor. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220925070195?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 The same guy also sells these new for £99 so why do people want to pay £77 for a used one. Are these moniters any good? Hi They are ok BUT with the standard shunt will only cope with up to 100 amps which is not much at all if used in conjunction with batteries drawing big ampage for say a washing machine. For not a hell of a lot more money there are better alternatives. I personaly wouldnt pay that percentage of new price for secondhand anything.

sharpness Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I was going to bid on this used battery monitor. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220925070195?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 The same guy also sells these new for £99 so why do people want to pay £77 for a used one. Are these moniters any good? Well, 11 different bidders who have taken the price to £77 from a 99p start must think they are. I wont be bidding though.

Are these moniters any good? Depends who you talk to. You do have to know how to intpret them and also how to keep them calibrated to your batteries.
