The amp hour readout stops at 65.000 Ah. The watt hour readout keeps adding up though. To get Ah from this you would need average voltage for the measuring period, which is not displayed. Also, to get average power draw, you need time, which is not displayed. So, this is adequate but inconvenient.

I'm a retired electronics technician. I've built an electronics bench here at home to design, build and test all things electronic. These two in line watt meters work great, and at a very good price. Along with other test equipment, I've integrated one of them into my electronics bench here for quick and dirty voltage, amperage and wattage reading. Simply attach a source and a load and you're in business. To be honest, if I compare these to my Fluke 87 voltmeter or amperage measurement, they are not dead on. However, never off by more than a percentage or so. That does not present a problem for me, as I would not expect something this inexpensive to be super accurate. It wasn't designed to compete with more expensive dedicated measuring equipment. Five stars and I would recommend for any electronics enthusiast.

I love the first one of the two that I used. It worked as expected, as described. It was off by about .07v, but for my purposes this is fine.The second one, however, would only display "bars". I had a 775 motor hooked up to a bench power supply and I was testing it. The display comes on at around 4.5-5v, which is normal. But it would not display any info. I did notice that if I turned the voltage up to 8v and connected it that way, the display would read correctly.I reached out to the seller and they were very polite and responsive. After a couple of messages with suggestions from them on troubleshooting, the info they gave me was "Glad to hear from you. This phenomenon is normal because the average voltage connected needs to reach 7V to function properly. Any inquiry, contact us again."This is not how the first one operates, and I can't find this anywhere in the description. I am outside of the return window. I still like this product, and to be honest I'd probably order again, but I would check BOTH monitors right away to make sure they function as my first one did.

You might get a 200 amp surge, but, a moment later the wires might just be a fuse.I fit the wires in a 45 amp connector for Anderson Power Poles. The wires are #12 AWG.There are no buttons or controls and no instructions. It just works and rotates between the different modes.One of these will be used in my portable power station for my ham radio.

These little volt-current-power meters are similar to the much more expensive Powerwerx and seem to work fairly similarly. But don't think you're getting a bunch more for less. The 200A versions are 65A continuous and it says right in the manual this is the case. They work fine for that. The leads are 10 AWG, seem like decent insulation, kind of short but workable. Crimped 45A PowerPoles on and running a measurement on devices in the 50W to 100W at 13.8V range for 4 days now without any problems. I have a 100A and 500A 75mV current shunts. Both are physically as large as the case on these. The laws of physics are unbreakable, so there's just no way these can carry 200A for more than a few seconds and the manual says so.
