#TRIMETRIC 2030 UPDATE#

We will update once we get on the road and actually get to use this new Wifi Module. This will be especially handy on long trips (and even better if we can watch it charge from the DC-DC converter, once that is installed)īelow is a detailed video of the installation steps I took. This would include allowing us to see how the battery is charging as we are towing.

However, hot off the presses over at Bogart is a new Wifi-based module that you can plug in “the middle” of the Battery Monitor setup, which allows for much more accurate / near real-time monitoring.Īfter seeing Ray Burr over at Love Your RV do a review and install of the unit, I decided I’d like to have one too, especially with an upcoming mod we are planning for which is installing a DC-DC charger from the truck alternator, directly into our Battle Born Batteries.īecause Bogart decided to go the wifi route instead of bluetooth, no app download is needed, just a browser on any device (smart phone, tablet or laptop) and we can easily view the data from the Trimetric. When used in combination with Bogart Engineering Solar Charger, the Trimetric TM-2030 Battery Monitor allows the user to precisely alter the charging parameters used on the Battle Born Batteries. You can view an older post about the basics of what the Trimetric can tell you over the course of a normal day camping. Luckily, all we really care about is the percentage of battery (0 – 100%) which tells us exactly how much power we have left.

They have bluetooth connectivity via a smartphone / tablet app, which allows for easier monitoring of power input as well as power draw from your system.īy default, the Bogart Trimetric is a bit esoteric in its controls, making figuring out your power consumption and production history more or less not worth the effort on any given day. In the past few years, I have had some gadget / gear envy for the various Victron Battery monitors that have become very popular. Its been working great ever since the install, never had any issues and is very reliable. We have had a Bogart Trimetric Battery Monitor 2030-A in our rig since the original Solar Install done by Eddie Glonek. Lots of other upgrades we have done to our travel trailer Why we chose lithium batteries and why we love them After reading about the Bogart WF-2030 install, check out some of our other posts :īetter cellular connectivity when you are in the middle of nowhere and need to work rvb100 at comcast.Update : welcome to our little blog.
