Having reliable battery monitoring is crucial for smooth sailing. From powering essential navigation equipment to keeping onboard systems running smoothly, your batteries are the lifeline of your vessel. That's why having a robust battery monitoring solution like a coulometer is essential.
That's where the coulometer with its user-friendly OLED display shines. The MCB350 will show you the percentage of battery left instead of voltage, giving you clear real-time monitoring of your battery.
The display also shows arrows pointing up and down, indicating whether your battery is charging or discharging. With just one click of a button, you can view the rate as well, keeping your hands free for other tasks, especially in challenging weather conditions or while enjoying a coffee.
One standout feature of the coulometer is its ability to work independently of your onboard system. In the event of a system crash, the MCB350—directly linked to your battery—will continue to monitor everything, providing peace of mind and reducing stress during potentially challenging situations.
As you can see on the wiring diagram, a coulometer is quite easy to install, doesn’t require many tools or knowledge for the setup. The shunt is ready to connect and the shielded wire from the shunt to the monitor is included in the MCB350 Kit.

Overall, the Coulometer is more than just a battery monitoring device—it's your trusted companion for marine battery management.
