Anyone try this LED battery meter??

I saw this on e-bay and was wondering if anyone out here has one or knows of them...accurate? I like the looks but looks won't help when sitting on the side of a path with dead batteries and a meter that still shows half life left.

That looks like the one that scubabud has in his cart in some of the pictures he has posted.

ox i did some reading up on them and contacted one of the sellers on ebay and they swear by them that they are the best (you know how that goes) but anyway they will pre set it to your cart before they ship it out to you keep me posted on the info or if you get one

All of these meters need to checked with a voltmeter after instalation....the cheapest one works as well as the most expensive if you make a note of where the meter is when your pack is down 50%

Gorno has one in that yellow ezgo of his, see what he says about it.

Based on actual battery voltage my meter reads fine and is good for everyday use. I use both my Garmin, actual miles traveled as well as the LED meter. For me it's really more for looks and as said before there are meters that can do the same thing for much less!

I decided to go with it. I liked the looks and will do as Scotty suggested...watch the battery voltages with a digital meter,and see what the LED indicator says and just learn its calibration.. These things are just a "ballpark" indicator of voltages anyway, but its better than what I have now...nothing...and I think it looks cool also

Bingo I like the step meters like this better anyway because as soon as you see it go down to the next step you can check your voltage and then determine at what step you shoould recharge

what voltage should i be at at 50% on my 48 volt system for a recharge is that right recharge when 50% down
