Default Re: Battery Voltmeter

I've seen several posts by cgtech stating that it is normal for the receptacle light not to blink with the DPI or other non powerwise chargers. My friends RXV doesn't blink with his DPI and all has been well for a year.

My RXV came with a Lester Links charger and the receptacle light does blink but I seem to be the oddball.

Is this common with the DPI charger? The charger itself shows its charging, just the light on the cart does not.
Yes it's normal not to work.

Last question I think! Do I need to change the mode on the charger from what it came from the factory? FYI I have 6-8V Crown batteries.

YES! It's important to have your charger know what batteries it's charging (some offer "modes" for different batteries). It will work in the short term (your batteries aren't ruined yet). But for long healthy battery life it's a real thing. Trojan batteries want a different charge than US batteries do. (There is even a difference if you have 6x 8v Trojan T-875 vs 8x 6v Trojan T-105 if you want to get down to the brass tacks). It is a real thing for overall battery life.

Do you know how I figure out what mode?

You can call DPI to verify:

Mode selections:
Mode 1 - Flooded US Batteries
Mode 2 - Flooded Trojan Batteries
Mode 3 - Flooded Exide Batteries
Mode 4 - Crown/AGM Batteries

Default Re: Battery Voltmeter

mode 1= 2.50 volts per cell (VPC)at charger cut off and transition to float mode
mode 2= 2.35 VPC
mode 3= 2.40 VPC
mode 4= 2.45 VPC

Note: This data is several years old. DPI has released a new version of the accusense. I don't know if this applies to them.

If it were not for the fact that I know the RXV harness so well, I would not have attempted it. I would take photos but I must get on the road for my trip to DC.

Bob

Ok I couldn't take it anymore knowing Bob had this SOC meter and I didn't. He did say it was pretty nice so I ordered one.

Mine came plug and play only thing I did was to drill a 1/2" hole for the selector button. I did put the button on the bottom of the dash so it wouldn't show.

I would highly recommend this meter...

Sorry Bob I got one now too...

Meter isn't turned on in the pictures sorry...

Nice meter! I'm not happy with my OEM as it over ranges after a charge so one must interpolate a bit. You say this one was plug & play, wires all connected and compatible with the existing SOC meter plug? How about instructions?
