The BALMAR SG200 Color Display Battery Monitor is designed to monitor a battery or battery bank which is used in deep cycling applications. It relies on the battery being discharged and then charged to learn the battery’s characteristics. This learning process may never occur on a start-only battery, since it is never cycled. However, The SG200 does have two additional leads to connect to starting batteries to read voltage only.
A great option where a second display is required for the vessel. Put a second display on the flybridge or in the salon. All parameters are available on a single or any display on the SmartLink network.
If multiple displays or shunts are being installed, they may simply be daisy-chained with additional SmartLink communication cables. Negative leads from auxiliary batteries to the shunt are not needed in a common-ground installation.
The SG200 will scale automatically to the voltage of commonly used battery systems (12v,24v,36v,48v.)
Requires the purchase of an SG2-0400 Communications cable (Model # 19297092).
- Very accurately calculates the State of Charge
- Multiple dimming settings and color schemes
