tonyishuk Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Seems to be a new toy in the shop. Anyone has one, tried one, know anything? https://www.ctek.com/products/vehicle/ctx-battery-sense Rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deneb Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 No, but I have a Victron BMV-712 battery monitor fitted in my van, which has a phone app to connect and read or program it via Bluetooth. It works well. I can connect from inside the house to check the state of the vehicle and leisure batteries in the van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinM50 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I've got the old fashioned charger on a time switch. Comes on an hour a day. Seems OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney1 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hi have 2 occasionally used vehicles stored in different places and battery maintenance is a bit of a challenge. A version able to send me text messages on battery status would be useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickVanBitz Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Face value looks good, but can it deal with Battery Banks? It also says in the bumf that it's fine with lead acid, what about other battery types? I second the Victron BMV, in particular the 712 as it does detect middle voltage (needed for battery banks and Li) and the app is very user friendly.

tonyishuk Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 Thanks for replies, I have taken a look at the web site . Am I correct in thinking that the 500 amp shunt can be used on the starter battery? Seeing that both my habitation and starter batteries are circa 2010, they have had a good run for the money !! It would be Wiser to buy new batteries, than worry about performance issues. Rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
