Woodfly, I would be curious to see how you have your battery mounting if you could post a pic of the compartment. I am debating on batteries, I am pondering these as weight and size isless than lead acid and amp hour is really good in 4pack

I already bought the Trimetric on Handy Bob's advice that it's the only battery monitor to get. However, it does seem a little dated compared to the features the Victron has. I wonder why he's still recommending the Trimetric above everything else?

This thread got kinda side tracked for about 5 pages.
@bentSpace, how did it work for you with the 8 gauge?
