The CruzPro VAH60H is a marine digital battery monitor for 9.5–70.0 V systems. It measures and displays battery voltage, charging/discharging current, amp-hours consumed and remaining, and percentage state of charge. The unit tracks all current in and out of the battery and applies Peukert and efficiency corrections to improve remaining capacity estimates. Front-panel controls allow setup, calibration and alarm configuration; settings are stored in non-volatile memory. A calibrated 150 Amp shunt is included.
