Question #1 .... I assumed some of the wires in the dash would be a neg but have not found it. Am I missing it or none there? #2 ...... is it necessary to run a neg. from battery pack or can it be grounded near dash and still get accurate V reading? |

Re: Installing V meter
Yes, that is quite common. The Battery warning light will only have negative when it is in alarming mode so yeah run a 18-14gwire from the battery pack main - to your meter. Just like the install instruction show

Re: Installing V meter
I swear first thing everybody does when they open a package is toss the instruction aside and start trying to figure out how to operate or install whatever was in the box on their own

Re: Installing V meter
But I DID read the info to check for any mention of +/- accuracy of the meter, but did not see it. In general it has been +.1 or +.2V higher than my ($25)multimeter. Anyone have any info on accuracy compared to a top notch multimeter?

Re: Installing V meter
1/10th of a volt is the advertised tolerance...close enough for golf cart batteries.

Re: Installing V meter
I suspect both the meter and my multimeter are a LITTLE off. Meter reading 51.5V and multi reading 51.2V on US batteries that should be 51.3Volts.
