Having trouble getting the 150A inline power meter to display correct "maximum" values. The Max Power, Current, Voltage, etc. scroll through on the lower left position. Almost always, these values do not correspond to the values shown elsewhere on the meter (present value of those parameters). For example, the meter might show 19.5V on the upper right, but shows 13.2 Vm on the lower left. Are the "maximum" values shown on the lower left a running maximum for the values shown in other positions on the meter display?

I'm not really sure what a 150a inline power meter is? Do you have more info? I use a "battery monitor" which sounds like it's completely different. Another question I would have is why are you using such a high amperage amp meter?

The Renogy inline meter measures voltage & current and derives power. Displayed values are voltage, current, power in Watts, energy in Watt-hours, etc. 150a is the max rated (short duration) current, am using to monitor PV input of around 15A.

You forgot to add in $38.99 Two of this type would work even better. I believe jsb2000 uses two of these type meters, he will be able to help the OP better than I.

The meters that I use are GT Power RC 130A's. They aren't ones supplied by Renogy. But maybe those aren't all maximum values you're reading on the left...hence the discrepancy:
My meters display continuous Amp, Volt and Watt readings on the right. On the left, they display Voltage minimum, Peak Watts, Amp Hours and Watt Hours since the last time power was applied to the meter.
The counted accumulated Watt hours has an upward reading limit of 650...after which I believe it starts counting again from zero. You have to remember to add the new numbers for the correct total.
