    Hello there,

    So there is the "amp" reading in the scangauge ii.

    Where is the current it is referring to? The current between the battery and the inverter? If so, what is the voltage? I want to read the power output in watt of the battery, but there is no a direct reading (cannot find this reading in scangauge)

    Nominal voltage of the battery is about 201 volts. Of course that will vary with conditions, but as a very rough estimate, I mentally multiply the current by 0.2 (or divide by 5) to get kilowatts.
