Hello,
I am having trouble with my Cruising Equipment Volt Amps Amp Hour meter. It is no longer manufactured. I went to Xantrex site and it seems that they don't make one like that anymore. I then went to E-bay and found several volt amp amp-hour meters that might work. I just wondered if anyone else had changed theirs out and what they had gone with and also if there is any advice on how to wire the new one up. I did find a used one from a sailboat but am somewhat concerned about the age and its longevity (from a marine environment). I was thinking a new one would be better. Thanks!
Google, Victron Energy BMV 700, this may work for you.

I bought two Xantrex LinkLITE battery monitors which are mounted in a 2 1/16 inch hole and am still using the Cruising Equipment one, such that each battery has it's own monitor. I bought them off eBay. My Cruising Equipment monitor has become unreliable, so I plan to dismantle and look at circuits for possible fix.
I just checked eBay, and fount two in working order for $50 each.
Those Cruising Equipment meters have a great reputation, I really like mine. Lots of the newer stuff seems fancier but less accurate. I'l try to find a good used unit if it were me.
I really had the idea of getting a new one. I went ahead and got one (used) off eBay. This is probably the simplest. Appreciate all. Best of travels
