Bill, am I right in thinking then from the 'last thread' that you can connect your battery charger to the 'source' terminals and battery to be charged to the 'load' terminals....then you can get a figure for total A/H into your cells.?
Therefore you can compare total A/H 'in' with total A/H 'out' to get efficiency of your cells.

Sorry if I have this completely wrong!!
Cheers

Hi ICANFLY,

Yes, that's correct. We have lots of users who do that to monitor their battery charging.

What happens if I reverse source and load during charge?
I have connectors like deans soldered, and plugging the battery to the load side requires me to build an adaptor.

Hi Entropia666,

It is fine to do that, as the MicroPower will automatically detect this and should read charge rather than discharge current correctly!
