voltage check on the fly
Installed 4 new Trojans in my 08 CC. During break in period, can I hook a digital volt meter with Gator connectors and put the item on my passenger seat and check voltage until it gets down to 49.7? Or do I need to stop periodically and lift the seat and check when the cart is not moving? Or can I hook voltmeter up and after a mile or so just come to a complete stop and let the voltmeter give me a reading and use that? I am following the 12 step break in process. Thanks,

Re: voltage check on the fly
I have heard people hooking up a volt meter that way and using it as a battery meter

You can absolutely do that! As a matter of fact, that is your most dependable diagnostic tool!

You should install one of scottyb's meters and be done with it.

Re: voltage check on the fly
The Break in process is not an Exacting science requiring 1/10 of a volt or even 1/2 of a volt accuracy The numbers are given to suggest that 15 or 25 % is a good point to recharge. Having said that, you can read the batteries after you stop , wait 15 seconds if you want a settled reading, after that you are just gaining back surface charge ... hope this helps.
