Battery Terminal Cover

[The_Lad]

Hi All

Could someone check the positive terminal on their battery in the engine bay and maybe send me a picture?

I think im missing the plastic cover that covers the terminal after having my suspension fitted last week, i found the negative cover in the back of the van but not sure if there should be the same over the positive (im pretty sure there was before)

Cheers
Justin

Mine never had one and I've removed my negative cove.

I see you have a CTEK battery sense fitted too, does it show how much charge the battery is receiving? eg if i fitted one to my leisure battery with a solar panel connected would it show how the solar panel charging the battery or just the battery status?

Just the state of charge, temperature and the voltage and a history graph. It has no shunt so therefore cannot measure the current flow.

I just went to take some screenshots but it has updated in the last couple of days and the detail view is not updating.

cheers im looking for something that allows me to see whats coming in from the solar panel but without needing a screen or anything in the van i probably need to add in a different solar controller instead of the CTEK

I have a Victron with Bluetooth.

+1 for the victron solar controler and battery shunt.

@Loz my CTEK layouts look different? (Android phone)

The app just updated on ios and now it's broken. I've emailed their support.
