Alan,

From my article on battery charging and care on my personal website (link follows):

https://gilwellbear.wordpress.com/category/boat-technical-topics/electrical-topics/battery-topics/batteries-charging-and-care/

There are several aftermarket coulomb counters available today, including the Bluesea Systems M2 DC (p/n 1830), Victron BMV-770 or BMV702, Xantrex LinkPro and Mastervolt BTM-III.  I feel the best choice these days is to get a coulomb counting monitor from the manufacturer of the charger or inverter/charger.  Aboard Sanctuary, a Magnum MS-Series Inverter/Charger is installed, and we use the Magnum BE-BMK coulomb counting monitor with the inverter/charger.

Hope this helps.

Jim
