Xantrex Technologies Battery Monitors & Volt Meters
Xantrex Technologies 84203100 LinkPRO Dual Bank Battery Monitor with 500A Shunt
Xantrex Technologies has established itself as a premier manufacturer in the power management industry, and their approach to battery monitors and volt meters reflects decades of engineering innovation. The company's battery monitoring solutions are designed to transform complex electrical data into actionable information, helping users maximize battery performance and longevity across marine, RV, and off-grid applications.
LinkPRO and LinkLITE Product Lines
Xantrex's flagship battery monitoring products, the LinkPRO and LinkLITE, selectively display voltage, charge and discharge current, consumed amphours, and remaining battery capacity, functioning as a fuel gauge for battery banks. The LinkPRO is a battery shunt that can measure currents up to 10,000 Amps, making it suitable for high-capacity systems, while the LinkLITE battery monitor is a battery shunt that can measure currents up to 1,000Amps, providing an accessible option for smaller installations.
Advanced Monitoring Technology
What distinguishes Xantrex battery monitors from basic volt meters is their sophisticated measurement approach. The meter provides critical information about the status of a battery bank using high performance measuring circuits, along with complex software algorithms. This technology accounts for variables like battery age, discharge current, and temperature—factors that significantly influence actual battery capacity but are often overlooked by simpler monitoring devices.
Intelligent Features and Programmable Controls
The monitors are equipped with an internal programmable alarm relay, to run a generator when needed or to turn off devices when the battery voltage exceeds programmable boundaries. This automation capability transforms the monitor from a passive display into an active power management tool. The large backlit LCD Display with an intuitive user interface ensures that all parameters can be accessed easily, even in low-light conditions common in marine and RV environments.
Versatile System Integration
Xantrex battery monitors excel in multi-battery configurations, offering secondary battery bank voltage monitoring and auto-sensing voltage inputs. This flexibility makes them ideal for complex electrical systems where monitoring both house and starting batteries is essential. The shunt selection capability enables customization based on system current requirements, while the splash-proof front panel ensures durability in harsh environments. Whether you're managing a sophisticated marine electrical system or monitoring an off-grid solar installation, Xantrex battery monitors deliver the precision and reliability needed for confident power management decisions.
