    Struggling with Solar Setup - 100 Watt Solar + Lead Acid + Lifepo4 Power Pack + Dometic Fridge

    It's a monitor but it honestly doesn't work all that great. It's designed to measure the current in and out of your battery but I think I'd have to wire my solar to my relay instead of direct to the battery for this functionality to work. It's amps out seems to be a bit off as well. Basic...
