Battery Monitor
« on: September 21, 2016, 01:16:30 PM »
Afternoon campers,

Today I purchased a Victron Battery Monitor for my Camel from Battery World in Brookvale, Sydney for $200. The guy said he bought a few and can't shift them. RRP is $425. He said, spread the word as he has 3 left and will let them go for $200.
Model is BMV 600S and does dual batteries.
Cheers.

Ok - looks like I got stitched with the sales pitch, although $200 seems a good deal.

602 is the old redundant model too I'm sorry to say.
700 and 702 have been released now 700 is $205 delivered and i cant recall how much the 702 was as i was only after the 700 for myself - not much dearer for the 702 if i recall.

Not to worry. I'm sure it will still do the job.
