Hi Jerry; That's a great idea, I'm going to get one and try it next time I
hit Home Depot. I also do not use automatic or central battery watering
systems, as I feel they give a false sense of security. Nobody is in there
regularly checking for loose connections and corrosion. My most important
I use the egauge a lot. Although it is not circuit specific, you can tell
from the profiles what is taking power. You have 12 inputs so you can use
it on 12 circuits instead of just the overall service.
If you buy 50A CTs they are pretty cheap.

New one for me, Ray.
I can't find warranty info on their website, any idea about that?

Dan,
We've been using the garden sprayer method for the last 14 years and
it works great!

Hi Folks,
There was previous discussion about system(s?) that looked at the
waveform of the load and got very specific as to reporting (if I
understood the discussion), can anyone report on actual usage of this
flavor of whole house monitoring?
Sorry, Jay to use up your space, I would
I would think the 1 gal sprayer would be perfect for customers with smaller
banks. When you start going through two, three or four gallons of distilled
water at a time, i could see it getting tedious. Ive used an elevated 5Gal
polyethylene tank with a 1/4" food grade hose connected to a small
Anyone heard of or used Discover Batteries?

They have a sealed lead acid battery that they are claiming 1900 cycles
to 80% DOD.
Sounds amazing, but
They are head quartered in Canada, and I'm having a hard time getting

HI Ray,
Not really that unique.
Most industrial VRLA are pretty close.
Just a quick check of the Outback site, has their RE version at 1500 cycles at

and OPzV at 1800 cycles.
Unigy, and Absolite 2P are going to right there as well.

Yes.
Discover is the house brand used by Canadian Energy, formerly Battery Direct.
"Canada's stored & renewable energy expert" is their tagline despite actually
having much experience with renewables - they are box movers. There is a
co-ownership link between Canadian Energy and Discover
thanks all, It sure looks good.
For my digitally active clients it looks like a great idea.
But I work in the sticks and a lot of people don’t have internet let alone
wifi, or sure don’t want “that” connected to the world.
So while the great consensus is the Egauge,
Anybody have a non
We have used EGuage for three years and it is very good. It is a premium
product and is priced accordingly. I recently learned how to program it
to send email alerts when some variable is out of spec. In our case, we
wanted to monitor frequency. Tech support is also very good.
