I unplugged the pod for the afternoon until the voltage rose again.

Our surge protector monitors the incoming 120v feed, and has a remote display. We added two 12v charge points and a 120v plug with built in USB points. I built my own 12v monitor panel for $3 from ebay parts.

Wow, nice set up. It looks like you know exactly what your AC feed is doing. I use a plug in surge protector at the feed point, but it doesn't provide any performance data except for some LED lights that indicate ground and polarity status.

I like it except it would have to be mounted where you could see it. I put a 12v plug in the side of the dinette nearest the refrigerator (easy to pull power from) and use a Vector monitor. It can be turned,twisted, etc. so I can easily glance at my battery voltage. A Y plug is great for charging two
devices or charging one and still monitoring the battery. |
