We have a (newly acquired) 77 Amp deep cycle battery and an Engel 40 litre fridge in our Pajero NG Exe turbo diesel (a dual battery system with a basic solenoid). I am aware that it is advisable to only draw the battery down to say a minimum of 30% capacity (say 24 Amps) before recharging. What device can I buy to monitor the level of charge that is simple and easy to use? Also how much driving (time) would be required to fully recharge up to the 77 amps from the low of say 24 amps? Also are there any cut off devices that will break the circuit at the point where the 30% charge limit is reached? All comments appreciated.
