Magnum Energy ME-BMK, Battery Monitoring Kit w/ 500A Shunt

To ensure your batteries perform satisfactorily and have a long life, they need to be properly maintained and charged.

A hydrometer is another device that measure the concentration of battery electrolyte in each individual cell and compare the readings with the OCV values from the battery manufactures. An a”ur meter is an electronic measuring device that
