I just want to know state of charge first and foremost but then maybe what loads are being drawn and the basics whatever most people recommend.
Things like this. Or another one I saw around mentioned is the DROK though someone mentioned in another post, referring to that linked video, that the hall ones may only work one way and have to be manually fiddled with to use both ways. Don't understand that fully but sounds undesirable as I want hands off after initial setup.
EDIT: Oh I just saw from this thread that hall monitors are no good for lifepo4 and recall reading that elsewhere too now. So "proper" monitor is the way then? Not bothered about paying a big for one just don't want to waste money on bells and whistles I wouldn't use. Bells and whistles being any bluetooth or apps as I just want a simple hardware device preferably with direct wire connection.
