RightHand Engineering :: Xantrex Battery Gauges and Options

When you rely on batteries to supply the power for your living space, transportation or lifting needs, it is important to know how much power you have left. Battery voltage alone is rarely a sufficient indication of battery state-of-charge — voltage is only an accurate charge indication when batteries have been idle for several hours.

The Xantrex battery gauges, the Link-10 (formerly the "E-Meter" and the Xantrex Battery Monitor (XBM) are among the best battery "fuel gauges" available for Renewable Energy (RE), Recreational Vehicle (RV), Electric Vehicle (EV), and Marine battery monitoring needs. These gauges measure ampere-hours so that you know with good accuracy how much power you have left.

RightHand Engineering's WinLink™ PC software runs under Windows 98 through Vista and provides real-time display and data logging of data provided by the Link-10. The "Professional" version adds the ability to do data logging at intervals as small as 10 seconds or as large as 1 hour (the non-pro version has a fixed 1 hour interval), plus the ability to send emails based on battery state of charge changes. Graphing of the logged data is done using a spread-sheet such as Microsoft Excel (instructions are included on how to import to Excel). For a complete list of WinLink™ features, see the WinLink™ spec sheet.
