    I popped this onto my trailer in no time. The instructions were super clear and I didn’t even need to crack it open to get it installed.

    These battery status monitors are a pretty cool step up from your usual trailer setups. Unfortunately, the battery was so heavy it squashed the plastic “cradles” inside the battery box during delivery. I’d already put together custom box brackets and bolted it on before I noticed the damage, so sending it back was a bit of a hassle. If you end up in the same boat, you’ll have to stuff some foam or other padding in the box to stop the battery from knocking about for as long as you’re using it.

    Totally happy with this gadget. I easily fitted it onto my ’93 Big Tex 14′ double axle and it’s working like a dream. The LED monitor is definitely a cool feature – it shows the charging status really clearly.
