Mid-Bath & Battery Monitor
Yahoo Message Number: 118123
For those of you that have the MD plan and a battery monitor, two questions please.
1) How did you get the wire from the battery compartment to the inside of the rig?
2) Where did you decide to mount the display?
 Thank you:

Ed

 AM Solar installed mine so I don't know about the wiring.  I had mine installed above the pantry.

Thank you, Don. I used the search feature on this site and the way you suggested was used by others as well. That's the route I'll take. Seems as straightforward as any.

Remove the back and side panel from the cupboard below the fridge. This will reveal the back of the battery box. You can either drill a new hole (being careful not to hit other wiring) or poke the new wire through an existing hole.
From there, you can route the wire aft alongside the front of the fresh water tank. This will get you to the area behind the electrical panel.

Obvious typo. "MD" should read "MB"

"I would have installed it in the lounge area because that is where I have my computer and TV. I would think that you would want it in the area that you use most of the power."
 Yup. that's what I did: my battery monitor sits on the desk right next to my computer, where I spend most of my indoor time. When I'm running low on power and it's time to shut down the iMac, I don't want to have to go into the next room to find out.
