I have a LeComte NorthEast 38 sloop.
Many boats have expensive batteries,and monitoring them properly can make them last much longer and save a ton of money. Properly maintained (as in a data center) deep cycle batteries can last 10 years. Many boaters consider themselves lucky to get 3-4 years before replacing them.
If you want to do a really good job of battery monitoring consider using Kelvin 4-wire leads (http://en.wikipedia....erminal_sensing )

Actualy the boat isn't mine, it's my brothers :-)
I will get the details, when I know the right terms.
And thanks for the 4-wire leads way of meassuring.
I was thinking of a simple voltage divider.
But this is better.

When it's done, sail to Terheijden Harbor and show me
Sounds like a fun project.
It looked as an easy enough project to get back into programming.
And getting the hang of a Netduino.
I will make some reports on how I do it and place it on the forum.
And yes it's fun
