BAT-1
Battery Monitor
The BAT-1 is a 2.25" instrument which is used to monitor your aircrafts battery supply. It can be
used on lead-acid, NiCad batteries as well as gel cells. This instrument is very useful in
determining your battery's health, charging status, as well as the current load consumption of
your aircraft.
The BAT-1 can measure voltages up to +30V and can measure charging/discharging currents of
up to 20A (Shunt dependant).

This instrument is very useful in determining your battery’s health, charging status, as well as the current load consumption of your aircraft.
  • Page 2 This Icon is displayed when the battery is charging (Charge current > Load current) This Icon is displayed when the battery is discharging (Load Current > Charge current) Setting up the BAT-1: Main Menu … Press the Menu key to enter the menu. You can move forward and backwards in the menu by using the + and –...
  • Page 3 This function allows you to switch the display backlight on or off. Shunt: … This function allows you to adjust the current shunts resistance value. We recommend using the current shunts supplied by MGL Avionics but other shunts can be used. The shunt can be adjusted from 1.0mOhm to 9.9 mOhms.
  • Page 4 If using a multimeter to calibrate the current or voltage, please make sure your multimeter can measure the average voltage and average current and not the true RMS value. The true RMS value will differ to the average value. The BAT-1 will only measure the average value of the current waveform.
  • Page 5 Also check to see that the cable from the alternator is going through the shunt, so that charging currents can be measured Make sure the BAT-1 is installed in the same configuration as the above drawing.
  • Page 6 BAT-1 is being operated. The BAT-1 has not been submitted to the CAA or FAA or any of its agencies for any form of certification. Operation and installation of this instrument is subject to the relevant rules and regulations of your country and flight authority.
