MGL AVIONICS BAT-1 MGL BAT-1  12V - 24V Battery Monitor  0 - 500A capable.  Supplied complete with 50A shunt. Instruction Manual SORRY SOLD OUT

The BAT-1 is a 2.25inch instrument used to monitor your aircraft battery power supply. It can be used on lead-acid, NiCad batteries as well as gel cells. This instrument is very useful in determining your batterys health, charging status, as well as the current load consumption of your aircraft. The BAT-1 can be used in both 12V and 24V aircraft and can measure voltages up to 30V DC. The BAT-1 uses a standard 50 mV shunt (50 Amp shunt included) to measure the current making the unit capable of measuring currents from 5A to 500A. The instrument contains a programmable low/high voltage alarm to automatically detect bad batteries and alternator failures.

  • Measure voltage and current simultaneously
  • Can measure voltages up to 30V (Compatible with both 12V and 24V aircraft supplies)
  • Contains a programmable low/high voltage alarm to automatically catch alternator failures and bad batteries
  • Includes a battery charge/discharge indication
  • Choice of 3 display modes (volts only, current only, or dual current & voltage display)
  • Records maximum volts, charge and discharge currents in permanent memory
  • Analog bar graph indicating charge/discharge current



Current measuring shunt

This generously dimensioned current measuring shunt is rated at 50A at 50mV and has convenient mounting arrangements for a simple and quick installation.

This shunt is suitable for use with the Infinity BAT-1 battery monitor.

Please note: It is not recommended to route currents to your engines starter motor through the shunt.

Shunts may change in shape and form factor but are generally similar to the image on the left.
