Hey guys,
So I recently changed my system from 52v to 72v and I'm having a heck of a time replacing my old wattmeter, a basic bitch, blue 150a turnigy that worked awesome, but sadly is only good up to 60v. Searching for a replacement I was only able to find units with rather large external shunt, which I didn't like but whatever, it's something I can deal with. I pulled the trigger on this guy here
https://www.amazon.com/Multifunction-Battery-Monitor-Multimeter-Voltmeter/dp/B07T8GN61Z
Unfortunately, after wiring everything up and installing it I discoved that it is real time only, and doesnt record peak watts or amps, and that is all but useless for me.
Are there any higher voltage wattmeters out there, capable of 100a+, preferably with internal shunt but not a requirement, that also record peak battery watts and amps? I'm coming up empty handed but that doesnt make sense to me. If turnigy can put out a cheap unit good for 150a but made for lower voltage rc applications I see no good reason why a similar higher voltage unit should be any harder to produce and sell.
Thanks!
