Help with wiring a battery meter?
Hey all,
I bought a battery meter on Amazon. It got good reviews, but it may not be the best...who knows. Anyway, I am not the best electrician, and I cannot make heads or tails of the instructions. For what it's worth, I have a 48v system, with six Trjan batteries. The batteries are about a year old. The cart currently has a battery light. It is supposed to come on when the batteries get low, but I've never seen it come on. I was hoping to pull that light out, and use the same location for this gauge. I tool a pic of the instruction sheet. can someone help me, in plain English? Thanks gang!! |

You cannot use the same wires as the battery indicator, leave that in place so You know when there is a charging problem.
There are wires already on the Precedent dash harness to connect the meter. Meter + to Red wire. |

truly you should send that back to Amazon and get yourself a LED meter instead of the bar style meter. for the effort of wanting to take care of your batteries you should get a better meter.

Totally agree.... With a voltage meter you can learn to read it like a gas tank while sitting still and use it to judge battery performance (troubleshoot) while underway....
