BAYWATT MVA series covers DC systems from 8V to 60V, including 12V, 24V and 48V boat electrical systems. Choose MVA1 for one battery voltage, MVA2 for two battery banks, MVA3 for voltage and current monitoring, or MVA4 for current monitoring only.





Keep a clear view of your electrical system with compact OLED battery gauges designed for marine panels, camper vans, RV dashboards and off-grid DC installations. The MVA series gives fast, Keep a clear, reliable view of your electrical system with the BAYWATT MVA series — compact amber OLED gauges built for marine panels, camper vans, RV dashboards and off-grid DC installations. Each unit reads voltage and current in a fast, high-contrast round 29 mm panel-mount format designed to survive salt air, spray and vibration. Available as a single voltmeter, dual voltmeter, combined voltmeter + ammeter, or dedicated ammeter, the MVA series lets you build the exact monitoring setup your panel needs — from a simple starter-battery check to a full house-bank and load-current dashboard. Built for real-world panel use, not just a spec sheet. The MVA series pairs an amber OLED display with marine-grade protection so it stays readable and reliable in daylight, at night and in wet conditions. Panel-building tip: The MVA series shares the same 29 mm footprint as our modular USB chargers and rocker switch brackets. Mix and match voltmeters, ammeters, USB ports and switches in a single row for a clean, uniform custom panel. Every MVA gauge can be installed on its own for a simple battery check, or combined in a custom multi-gauge dashboard — start battery, house battery, charging current and DC load, each on its own dedicated display. A battery that reads fine at rest can still be too depleted to start an engine or run a fridge overnight — voltage alone only tells part of the story. Pairing a voltmeter with current monitoring on the house bank shows not just how charged a battery is, but how fast it's being drawn down or recharged, so problems show up before they become a dead battery at the dock. Installation note: Always disconnect or isolate the battery bank before making final connections. If you're unsure about shunt placement or wiring for your specific panel, consult a qualified marine electrician. IP66 front protection and a -40°C to +85°C operating range mean the MVA series is built to keep reading accurately through spray, washdown, temperature swings and long-term exposure at the helm. Pair your OLED gauge with our compatible panel mounts and housings to build a clean, modular dashboard — combine voltmeters, ammeters, USB chargers and rocker switches in the same 29 mm format. See our battery monitor wiring guides for model-specific wiring diagrams. MVA1 reads one battery's voltage, MVA2 reads two at once, MVA3 adds current monitoring to a voltage reading, and MVA4 is a dedicated current (ammeter) display. MVA3 and MVA4 include a 100A shunt. The included shunt for MVA3 and MVA4 installs on the negative side of the circuit, which is the standard layout for accurate DC current measurement. Yes. The MVA series accepts 8V to 60V DC, so the same gauge works across 12V, 24V and 48V setups without a different model. No. OLED pixels only draw current when lit, so power draw stays low enough for permanent connection without meaningfully loading the monitored battery. The front face carries an IP66 rating, protecting against water spray, washdown and dust from the panel side. It is not designed for full submersion. Questions?

Highlights & Callouts
Why the Amber OLED Display
Daylight & Night Readable
High-contrast amber OLED stays sharp in direct sun at the helm and stays comfortable at night — no harsh blue or white glare to disrupt night vision at the wheel.
Low Power Draw
OLED pixels only draw current when lit, so the display sips power — safe for permanent connection without meaningfully loading a battery bank.
Compact 29 mm Install
Fits the same round cutout used across the industry, with 6.3 mm quick-connect terminals for a fast, tool-light installation.
