Battery Monitoring
Unexpected flat batteries put a dampener on your pleasure. A Mastervolt battery monitoring system brings an end to nasty surprises. A clear display shows performance, consumption and available battery capacity. More elaborate systems management is also available: this includes monitoring and operation of multiple functions such as AC and DC power provision via the generator, mains or main engine. The choice is yours.
A choice of instruments for different needs
Measuring the actual amount of energy remaining in a battery is a complex task, different to simply checking the level in a water or fuel tank. Many factors influence how much energy the battery can still supply, including its age, the surrounding temperature and the intensity of the loads connected to the battery. Although a voltmeter can give a rough indication of the battery’s condition, there is a more accurate and reliable way to obtain information - via one of Mastervolt’s battery monitors. Available in five different models:
BattMan Lite; An affordable battery monitor that does exactly that: providing critical information about the status of your battery bank under all circumstances. Additionally it will warn you when your battery bank is empty.
BattMan Pro; Also displays the remaining time until your battery needs to be charged and stores special battery status events.
Masterlink BTM-III; Provides an accurate indication of the voltage, current, amp-hours, remaining time and remaining capacity of battery bank 1, and the actual and estimated capacity of battery banks 2 and 3. The built-in microprocessor calculates the remaining capacity and stores historic data.
Masterlink MICC; This compact battery monitor provides information on the system like the BTM-III as well as enabling the user to control and monitor the Mass inverter, Mass battery charger or Mass Combi.
MasterShunt + MasterView Easy; MasterBus integrated battery monitor collecting detailed information on the status of your batteries. The MasterBus remote panel with touchscreen control provides information on the charge process as well as other system information.
