The Link 1000 is an instrumentation and control panel designed for use with the Xantrex Freedom series inverter/charger and a single battery bank. It reads like a fuel gauge for batteries – displaying battery state-of-charge at a glance. Inverter and charger functions are independently controlled with the touch of a keypad.

So basically it's a high tech battery monitor you can use to monitor a single battery also dual batteries as well.
Not a bad find the guy who was selling it at the flea market had no clue what it was used for at all. He was like ummm $15.. I immediately bought it since they cost around $150 new.
