Review on Xscorpion DBT024RP Platinum Digital Battery Terminal: Secure Screw Terminals for AWG Wire Compatibility by Raymond Iglesias

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not as described - battery wiring and terminals

Bad buy but not worth the return postage costs. The terminal itself is as described and works/fits/looks great. The lid is smoky, not transparent as in the description. Looks good smoked but not what I ordered. Other photos from buyers show that it is also smoked. LED voltmeter, terrible. After installing the terminal I checked it with a quality voltmeter and it showed 0.2-0.4 volts above the actual reading. I went for a test drive and after turning off the engine the voltmeter slowly rose to over 24 volts (20 volts at maximum reading?). That many volts is impossible from a seated, non-charging 12V battery, if correct it would burn! By the way, my real voltmeter showed 12.9V while the sensor was creeping up on the terminals. Later, the evidence just disappeared altogether. A day later, it magically turned back on. I didn't pay attention to the reading as it is wrong. The blue (remote) wire is a trigger that can be used on a hot spark plug wire or connected directly to a hot indicator. I hooked up my perpetually hot FWIW. I will order another branded replacement as this is just an eyesore and quite frankly a possible fire hazard. It's funny to see 20+ volts on the gauge!

Pros
