Stuart Adair Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hello folks, Haven't been here for a while, mainly because nothing has broken lately and I hope everyone is keeping safe and well. I've moved to a new mooring which is somewhat more remote than the marina with no shore power, and I wanted to be able to monitor my battery condition remotely via 4G using an app on my phone; the fear being that the batteries go flat before I can get down there with my generator. I discovered Chargemetrix which does exactly what I wanted and thought it might be useful for anyone else with the same issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iggy Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I installed the Siren Pro alarm system https://sirenmarine.com/?utm_source=AdSt&utm_medium=Paid_Search&utm_campaign=S3P_Launch&utm_term=%2Bmarine %2Balarm&utm_content=BOATSECURITY&gclid=CjwKCAiA-_L9BRBQEiwA-bm5fjCjLOxtbfCMAQ2AQNU9b8wzOatUhhmy0dRUpQ9wuWYEkrhqy9m1UxoCFxQQAvD_BwE It tells me if I loose shore power. Monitors house and starting batteries. You can also hookup high water, temp and door alarms and inputs to monitor more stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cyclops2 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Beats finding your old or new boat filled with water. With no pier power ? I would buy it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TexasPilot71 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Very nice! I can't imagine docking perpendicular to that current! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SST Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 While I think this thing is neat, doesn't it rob the energy from the batteries its monitoring? I didn't watch the whole video......does it come with its own batteries? This reminds me long ago when I purchased an in-home light timer. That timer caused my electric bill to skyrocket. I soon dawned on me that the timer is running 24 hours a day even though the light is only working for a couple of hours. I chucked the timer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
