        <![CDATA[ I am interested in upgrading to a battery monitor as part of my battery replacement program.  What is the difference between the link 10 and the XBM?  Also, has anyone installed one of these in the electrical panel to replace the voltage meter?
            
            Thanks for any advice

            Since I actually have 4 independent battery banks (2 @ Perko switches), I ran extra wires to the electrical panel (from each battery) &amp; added another double position switch, just like the one Catalina put in.<div class='signature'>~~~~_/)~~~~<br>

Our cranking battery is on a separate system and only use the original volt meter on the steering pedestal.

			<description><![CDATA[ I've had a Link 20 since the boat was commissioned 5 years ago.  It is always nice to have detailed battery usage data and I am very pleased with the unit.  We chose the Link 20 because the factory had installed the remote control for the Heart Interface and I did not see the advantage of scrapping that unit for the Link 2000.<br>
            <br>
            Regarding the installation, I would advise against replacing the volt meter.  I like the idea of back-up in case something goes wrong.... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ We installed a Link 1000 on our 42 to monitor our house bank as we cruise in Mexico.  We had the link 10 on our previous boat.  We like both of these units as they allow us to keep a close eye on battery usage, individual appliance amp requirements, as well as the charging status. They are part of an entire smart charging system using a charger/inverter when on shore power and a high output alternator and smart regulator when underway. It would be hard to get along without them.  <br>... ]]></description>
