These LED Battery Meters can be wired onto the terminals of your lithium battery or to the posts of the Smart Battery Box. You can purchase a compatible meter on sites like Amazon for about $15-$30. Since all the other features of the Smart Battery Box are still compatible with a lithium battery, you can simply purchase a lithium Battery LED Battery Meter and connect it to the Smart Battery Box to allow for accurate charge readings. A lithium battery will still work with all the other features, but you will need to purchase a separate lithium compatible LED battery meter to correctly read the charge level. This makes lithium batteries incompatible with the LED meter on the Smart Battery Box. Whereas a Lithium battery holds a higher voltage right up until it’s completely discharged. Lead-acid deep cycle or marine batteries tend to gradually reduce in power over time. When a battery is connected, the meter shows the immediate voltage received. Below you can see the correlation between the voltage and the number of lights that are on. Our Smart Battery Boxes are engineered to be used with lead-acid deep cycle or marine batteries.

And while the unit may not be USCG certified, it does have more than enough other features to be placed onto anyone’s radar.In short, our Smart Battery Box LED Meters will not work with lithium batteries.
