Voltage Gauge “For Trojan”
The dash mounted meter I got says it’s specifically for Trojan batteries. Well now I have US batteries. what do I need to look out for? I don’t see one specificAlly for US batteries?
I don’t really wanna buy a new meter. Especially if it’s just like 1 bar off. |

Re: Voltage Gauge “For Trojan”
Get a digital battery meter. The bars are deceptive. They lead good people to do bad things to batteries they paid dearly for.

Re: Voltage Gauge “For Trojan”
Digital meter, you mean one that shows voltages? Any recommended brand? I’ve seen and heard of some that are inaccurate.

Re: Voltage Gauge “For Trojan”
Agh yes ok. Since it’s 2 wire do I need to wire it through a switch?

The dash mounted DVM I got from Scottie has been on contentiously since Jun-2011, except when I'm upgraded (or fixing) something and once or twice a year when I clean the cables. My charger goes into a float charge mode after the normal charge cycle ends and if I see something other than 46.4V (7x6V 42V pack Exide batteries) on the meter, I investigate to find out why. The meter only draws a few milliamps, which less than the controller draws keeping the filter capacitors charged. |
