Yes, I've heard that argument, and there is truth in it. That said, I don't need (or want) shunts for current sense, so I'm forced to buy something I don't need. And for Lithium batteries you don't need a battery temp sensor either.They are pricy. I saw a comparison pricing of competitors. When all the “extras” included with the Zeus were added in, the pricing was closer.
Wakespeed. Lots to like, but not without its own challenges.Twistedtree,
What are you running for regulators?
Morgan's Cloud published another article on Wakespeed and ARCO.Morgan's Cloud is writing up a comparison of Arco and Wakespeed. Might want to subscribe to the website to see what they write up.
Wakespeed WS 500 or ARCO Zeus or… is the link to where they say they are doing a comparison.
Yes, please keep us posted. I'm very interested to hear how it works out.Hi All,
Have a Zeus purchased and planned to install in a couple of weeks. Having a professional install a full Victron system with Lithium. I am curious as many mention that the price is so much of a concern over even a Wakespeed. Even if the Zeus was a bit more expensive, you will have it on your boat for many years and have the convenance of having all the information at your fingertips on your phone!! I just don't get it. Save a few bucks and get a MC-614. Anyway, I will report how it all works out!
