Volt meter
Afternoon all,
Trying to hook up a led bar style volt meter in a 36 volt 1985 club car ds. The drawing I have shows the positive and common coming off the key switch. And then the negative going back to ground. This was bought as a 36 volt meter so I would think I want to span the entire bank of batteries. I've tried that and it shows one bar near full but it never moves down the scale as I was the cart. Any ideas how I can hook this up on a separate switch. The switches I have are lite and run off 12 volts thanks for the help |

I would highly recommend against using a bar style meter, as they are inaccurate and don't always work right. I would use a digital meter, like the ones here: http://www.cartsunlimited.net/battery-led-meters.html |

Re: Volt meter
there should be full pack voltage at the key switch . positive to the on side of switch and run neg back the pack main negative , or you can run them both to the pack positive and negative and meter will be on at all times .

Re: Volt meter
Get yourself a good digital meter like Scottyb sells. Much more useful information.
