pretty cool battery monitor I picked up for $15 from a flea market

Integrated Battery Monitor and Inverter/Charger Control in a Single Panel

The Link 1000 is an instrumentation and control panel designed for use with the Xantrex Freedom series inverter/charger and a single battery bank. It reads like a fuel gauge for batteries – displaying battery state-of-charge at a glance. Inverter and charger functions are independently controlled with the touch of a keypad.

Product Features

* Digital numeric display automatically compensates for ambient conditions and selectively shows: DC volts and amps, battery amp hours consumed, time remaining to full discharge, fault conditions
* Multi-colored LED displays: approximate battery state of charge, AC input
Push button control of power sharing, equalizing, battery set-up, independent inverter and charger on/off controls
* Second sense lead for voltage sensing on an additional battery bank
* Power Share and Idle Mode are easily set from the panel
* Compatible with 12 or 24 volt sytems
* Includes precision DC shunt
* Easy to install
* One year warranty

Programmable Advanced Functions

* User programmable adjustments of the Freedom Inverter/Charger directly from the front panel
* Can be set for four different battery types including wet, gel and AGM
* Data is used to recall key information about the battery bank: charge efficiency, deepest discharge, average discharge, and other data


So basically it's a high tech battery monitor you can use to monitor a single battery also dual batteries as well.

Not a bad find. The guy who was selling it at the flea market had no clue what it was used for at all. He was like ummm $15.. I immediately bought it since they cost around $150 new.

I used to work for Xantrex.

Let me know if you need any help setting it up.

Is there a way to shut it off or does it stay on all the time?

Hmmm.. weird, I only get one page of the article in that PDF. Do you get more? The source page of the link (http://www.eco4wd.com/products/Hardw...are.htm#Link20) doesn't really say what to expect from the PDF...
