Default Installed a digital volt meter and fuse block etc

I just installed a digital volt meter, fuse block, voltage reducer etc, works like a treat. I bought one of these digital volt meters (link below) and it seemed very good quality and you can also buy the surround which locks it in tight.

Let me know what you think?

The voltage reducer is fused then goes through a switch so I can turn it off, it runs my electric cooler, 12v plug.

The toggle switch runs my blinkers up is left side, down is right side.

Nice! What readings do you get when under full pedal?

I have been using one of those meters for about a year now.
Good build quality, easy installation and hook-up, water resistant, and accurate.

If I'm going to cut a hole in the dash, I think I'll have to go with one of these. Thanks for posting.

Which one would I need for my 48 volt?
Too many choices! Also have to have the red display and the water resistant.

Rotten,
I would go with the +30 to +264VDC, as my cart reads about 51.9 volts a few hours after fully charged and I have seen my digital meter go up over 60 volts when charging with my delta-q quiq charger.

This is the meter I have, I probably would have bought the one aussie has, but this is the only one I could find at the time. The price was $9.90 each + shipping, I bought a red one and a blue one. The shipping wasn't much, they were sent by mail, but it took them about a week and a half to arrive-they had to go thru customs, etc. They weren't advertised as waterproof either, but I have had them out in the rain with no problems.

Mine has 4 wires instead of 2, as two wires go to my battery pack, and the other two go to 12 VDC to power the meter. I have a 12 volt battery on my cart for accessories anyway, so it worked OK for me. If you have a 6 volt batteries, you could wire these two wires to two of your six volt batteries, as they draw very, very little current.

I like Aussie's better because of the 2 wire system. Looks good Aussie!

The +30.0 to +199.9VDC should also work.
