Battery Voltage Monitor
Hello,
I see that there is a voltage monitor system for sale on eBay that monitors all the batteries individually. What are the real advantages of this type of system? If the voltage monitor system that monitors them all together indicates low voltage is it as simple as putting a meter on each batter to find the bad one? Thanks Tom |

Re: Battery Voltage Monitor
Ok I guess no need for the individual battery system.
Thanks Tom |

Re: Battery Voltage Monitor
I agree with Gorno and, although we carry battery status indicators, I would recommend you check out Scotty B's meters as they are very nice!

Re: Battery Voltage Monitor
Does Scotty ever run deals on them? I'm in no hurry and I think they are a bit pricey.
Thanks Tom |

 It's well worth the cost to know where you pack stands and when it's time to charge before it's to late. |

He doesn't mention if the settings are for batteries 1 thru 6 AND overall pack voltage. If not, I bet he could set them up that way, if requested. If it has overall pack voltage, I think it's a great setup. I may look into adding a rotary switch like that to my existing Trail Tech Striker Speedometer/voltmeter. It would add a whole mess of extra wires, though! Michael |

Re: Battery Voltage Monitor
My cart has the indicator light to tell me when the batteries are at 25% life. Shouldn't that be sufficient to keep me out of trouble?
The app is a bit over the top. I could see that being cool for a battery bank that powers your house but for a golf cart seems like a bit much. Tom |
