In Dash Battery Meter
I have a in dash battery that came with the golf cart which is a 48 volt. My meter is one of those bar graphs that shows the battery life left. It says cirrus on the meter. However I charge my batteries for 8 hours and the meter bar graph drops two bars after 5 minutes of riding. The voltage on the battery back says 49 volts. should I get another in dash meter?

Re: In Dash Battery Meter
Those bar type meters are not very accurate or trustworthy.
 You should look into replacing it with one like this:http://www.cartsunlimited.net/battery-led-meters.html |

Do yourself a favor and follow LVCJ's advise. You won't regret it.

 A digital meter is much more accurate in determining the health of your pack, as you will know your voltage in real time while driving as well as at rest. |

So I should get a voltage meter indicator instead of a battery life indicator?

Ok. Here is my dash. Any idea where to put it? I was going to take out the battery indicator and put it there but the current battery indicator is vertical and the one y'all suggested is horizontal.

Re: In Dash Battery Meter
Or do an inexpensive cut in meter below the key plate in the flat area with the printed warning label.
