Re: Battery Meter Help
Got my voltmeter today and I just put each of the leads on the pos/neg of the battery pack and I got sparks. I'm guessing I need to get a different meter even though it's reading correctly.

Re: Battery Meter Help
Like welding Sparks? Whose meter? If it's a eBay/Amazon special, your guess is as good as anyone else on Earth's guess.

Re: Battery Meter Help
Does it spark every time you connect it, or just the first time? Try repeatedly connecting/disconnecting/connecting and see if the first is worse. If you have a DMM, check the current draw. If it's fairly small, you could decide to keep it, but I'd place an inline switch.

Re: Battery Meter Help
Me too. If the current draw is excessive, could drain battery over time, yet not blow a fuse. My radio sparks, but I have it fused and all accessories are killed by my key-switch.
Though we're talking apples and oranges, I'd bet my two 55 watt headlights would spark quite a bit, at nearly 10 amps. |

I bought the DVM from ScottyB for my 36v TXT. I got an AGM type automotive inline fuse holder from my local auto store. Not sure what size fuse I used but probably something in the 2 - 5 amp range. It has been working great for 5 years. All you are looking for is dead short protection. |
