The QK-A016 is a high precision battery monitor and can be used for boats, campers, caravans and other devices using a battery. The A016 measures the voltage, current, ampere-hours consumed and the remaining time at the current rate of discharge. It provides a wide range of battery information, and the programmable alarm allows users to setup the capacity/voltage warning buzzer.
The A016 is compatible with most types of batteries on the market including: lithium batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries, lead-acid batteries, and nickel-metal hydride batteries.
The A016 outputs the standard NMEA 0183 format messages so the current, voltage and capacity information can be combined with the NMEA 0183 system on the boat and shown on the supported Apps

The display shows the state-of-charge on the screen. The following image provides what the displayed values indicate:
NMEA 0183 output
The A016 outputs the real time voltage, current, and capacity (in percent) via the NMEA 0183 output. This raw data can be monitored using any serial port monitor software or apps on mobile devices. Alternatively, apps such as OceanCross can be used to view the end user information.
The output sentence format is shown below:

$IIXDR,a,x.x,b,c–c,*hh
1: Prefixer (Talker ID), fixed as IIXDR.
2: Measurement type. Where U is for voltage, I is for current, G is for capacity;
3: Measurement data.
4: Units of measurement.
5: Name of device, fixed as A016.
6: Checksum.
Example:
$IIXDR,U,12.10,V,A016,*CS —-the current voltage is 12.1V
$IIXDR,I,2.1,A,A016,*CS —-the present current is 2.1Amp
$IIXDR,G,64.0,%,A016,*CS —-the current capacity(remain) is 64.0%
The voltage, current and capacity information can be shown via Apps on a mobile phone (Android),e,g, OceanCross.
