Does the WatchMon CORE replace the Watchmon 4? I have a 48v battery with 32 Lifepo4 prismatic cells 16S 2P configuration. I was hoping to use the WatchMon CORE, 32 BlockMon M8s and Shunt.
Yes, the WatchMonCORE replaces the WatchMon4.
We have taken a hard look at where our customers were having difficulties and addressed them. WatchMonCORE is a stronger and better model. This revamp is taking the lessons we have learned from WM4 and building on its proven platform to introduce a few new features.

WatchMonCORE can still communicate with BlockMons when using the IsoMon3. It is essential if upgrading from a WatchMon4 to a WatchMonCORE to use an IsoMon3 to communicate with these individual cell monitors.
Or you can use our new cell monitor, CellMate-K9, which allows 3-16s and can be daisy-chained.
