<div dir="ltr">If your objective is battery health monitoring, you want it near there, ideally. If you have a relatively constant draw, and can thus measure and apply a fixed offset to a measurement elsewhere, all very well. Ideally it's nice to compare both.<br>

Work still to be done:<br>
* Install voltage monitor<br>
<br>
<br>
Most of the Mikrotik gear will report the supply voltage, from either<br>
the direct plug or via PoE. It's also pollable via snmp. Of course,<br>
that may include voltage drop on the way up the tower if it's mounted<br>
high, but it may still be useful.<br>

I would argue that voltage at the actual router would be more useful than battery voltage in some situations....<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
