Despite having 12 AWG wires, they are so soft that it was tricky to push Powerpole contacts into their housing. I had to drive them in using a precision screwdriver, which is no fun.

Use this product to test circuit amp draw on commercial trailers. Works well. I use in series with volt regular for drill battery purchased separately.

I saw this meter on some YouTube solar system videos and ordered one. I like it so far and plan to get a few more to monitor my solar panel output.

I use this meter for a solar battery station. I cut off the original leads and soldered 50a Anderson connectors. The meter reads perfectly and is accurate as compared with a battery lead meter. At 20-30 amps, the unit runs Icey cold. and the wires run warm I would not run 150a through this. The original wires are labeled 12 awg, but more like 13 awg. 12 awg is rate for 30a and since the leads are small I would go as high as 40a. Even at 30a, the wires get a warm (not hot).I knew what this was capable of going in, so I am not knocking the rating. At $11 this is a bargain as long as you ignore the product page ratings and just go by what the wires can handle.I also opened up the meter just to double check the solder points and my unit was soldered well. I would suggest just checking to see if the solder points for the wire pass the eye test.

I use this to keep track of my battery voltage and amp hours used when operating my Amateur radio equipment in the field. One thing to keep in mind is that when you disconnect it from the power source it will not retain a memory. Good thing is it has a three prong auxiliary socket to add a power source to retain memory, although I have no need for that. Works great several people in my Ham club bought this. That says something for its accuracy.

I was able to put my mc4 connectors on it. Tested my solar panels. But the screen only stays on for 8sec I unplug and reconnect it starts over than shuts off 8 sec later. Unfortunately the numbers are still rising before the screen times out.I will be returning this item.

I added a set of powerpole connectors to both ends of this meter and it is super-easy to insert it into a circuit to see the power consumption of my radios and other devices in the circuit. The display is easy to read and the display shows current (Amps), supply voltage (Volts), and power (Watts). The 4th data spot in the display cycles through Amp-hours (Ah) since meter startup, Watt-hours (Wh) since meter startup, peak amps (Ap) since meter startup, minimum voltage (Vm) since meter startup, and peak watts (Wp) since meter startup. All in all, this is a great meter and it has already been very handy and helpful for me in my home workshop. Great value for its price. This is a keeper. Recommended!

This units are perfect for my solar system. I'm running a 400W solar system and it works perfectly. I got 2 units, one for checking how many watts are coming in and the other to check my battery input and output. My only advise to you is to add the battery backup option, which is not cable include with it. It only works from 8v-60v, on the 3 pins on the side of the unit. I use two 11650 batteries and for connecting the battery use first cable as a ground and the second as positive from top to bottom, the white cable is not connected to anything, don't use the third pin, not sure what it but it didn't work for me.
