Battery Backup - Battery Health Monitoring?

[dangles]

Is there a way to track/monitor the health of a battery backup? Specifically the Vortech battery backups?

I've seen a couple of controller board builds on Pinterest that appear to have a digital meter of some kind, but I can't track down where they pulled the photos from. I assume here somewhere...

That sounds like something I make- do you mean these? I’ve sent out a couple hundred of them over the last few years. If not this, post a link to the Pinterest photo.

Yes that’s exactly what I was looking for!

I have one of these on each of my battery backups. It's rather handy but I am sure there's other options out there as well

They sell small meters for boats and RVs you'd need male DC adapter.
Probably costs about 20 bucks. If you want it cute and cannot 3d print you'll need a Arduino project box.

So if the guy above is selling it plug and play for $40 bucks, I'd say that's worth it for most people who don't do much diy
