Priced competitively with other battery monitors, the SG200 delivers superior measurement features in a compact, compelling color display. The SG200 enables better battery management for many deep-cycle battery applications, including cruising vessels, bass/walleye boats, ski/wake boats and center consoles, not to mention recreational and specialty use vehicles.”
