battery gauge
Anyone tried one of these? Would it be more information than just a voltage readout?

Re: battery gauge
It is limited to 100A max. Not sure it would hold up on your cart.

Re: battery gauge
As Kinny said, the 100 amp range would not work. This is more for automotive use. A current shunt for 300 or more amps would be needed for electric vehicles.
It is a great concept though. Maybe this will be available since electric vehicles are becoming more common. |

Re: battery gauge
Here is another option that does not use shunts:

I have been interested in a current readout but was unwilling to use a shunt.  |

Re: battery gauge
I am sure it is not waterproof, so it should be mounted so the back is not exposed.
If Your driving conditions involve that much water where it gets behind the dash, then there are other units available (more expensive) that would offer water protection. There is at least one member here that uses that meter, maybe he will comment on his experience. |

Re: battery gauge
