This video shows how to install the AiLi Battery Monitor from Amazon: amzn.to/32suBN5
(Make sure to get the right size. Might as well get the 350a one just to be safe)
Woo! I'm finally able to tell how my new battery bank is running. This was fairly easy to set up, just make sure to give yourself plenty of room. I really like this monitor despite the lower quality materials.
It does not come with the red power lead so you'll need to get some 16 gauge wire. I use this: amzn.to/2YDH3bt
Also, if you plan on mounting it like I did, these are the tools I used:
2 and 1/8th hole saw: amzn.to/2EAN2Xu
Hole saw arbor: amzn.to/2EteaYM
Electric drill: amzn.to/3hy92AW
These are the parts I used to make a longer shielded cable for the display. Essentially what you need to do is cut the extra cable that comes in the AiLi monitor box in half, solder (or crimp with jelly crimps) the new cable onto it to lengthen it, and then either crimp the other half of the original wire on to the end or crimp on a 5-pin female JST-XH connector.
The display extension cable: amzn.to/3aXLbYO
jelly wire crimps: amzn.to/2YErb8F
5 pin jst-xh connectors: amzn.to/2YEFytF
jst crimper tool: amzn.to/3jmxaah
26 awg wire stripper: amzn.to/3aXYZCN
