Re: 2 wire volt meter
Geeezzzz that’s awesome I just had to make sure. Is there a scale of like when the batteries are @ 50% or like when I need to leave the bar and get home??? Or at what voltage should I “start” heading home. ‘‘Tis the season to always stop for one more quick beer

Re: 2 wire volt meter
You may want to consider connecting the voltmeter directly to the battery pack, or after the Run-Tow switch if you have one.
I did that with mine and it is nice to be able to see the battery voltage at all times such as during charging, and after it sits for a while. I see it every time I go into the barn for something. |

Re: 2 wire volt meter
Also, I just use the rule of thumb. 36V battery, head home at 36V. 48V battery, head home at 48V. in other words, never let it get below its rating.

Re: 2 wire volt meter
I bought a new 3 position keyed switch and the volt meter stays on when it’s switched to off. Should I just switch to the other terminal?
