Review on ๐Ÿ”‹ Battery Voltage Display 12V 24V 36V 48V 60V 72V, Battery Capacity Tester Indicator Panel Meter - LCD Digital Power Switch Meter for Car, RV, and Battery Systems by Joey Pritchard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very nice battery voltage and capacity display module

I have an electric lawn tractor that runs on lead acid batteries. After 1 year and 1 month (1 year battery warranty) I can no longer mow the entire lawn on one charge where I had no problems with it before. I've been considering replacing current batteries with lithium iron phosphate batteries, which have a much longer life, charge much faster, weigh less than half the weight, and offer a much smoother power delivery throughout the discharge cycle. However, when I do this, the current battery level and the remaining capacity indicator no longer work correctly. So when I saw this Apshinv meter on Revain, I knew it was the perfect replacement. Because in addition to lead-acid batteries, it can be configured to work accurately with lithium-ion and lithium iron phosphate batteries. It's a slightly different configuration than the original (rectangular or round), but it shouldn't be too difficult to cut out the panel to perfectly match this new gauge. The meter is smaller than I expected, but the colorful LCD is so bright and clear it's still easy to see. So the small size is an advantage for me to make the upgrade easier. Not only does it feature digital voltage and capacity percentages, but it also features a battery-style 7-segment graphic display that quickly shows you the approximate amount of energy remaining. The measuring device is connected to a voltage source via a 2-pin plug on the back of the housing. The device is supplied with two matching plugs to which wires of different lengths are connected. There is also a hole on the back of the meter to access the potentiometer under that hole so you can fine tune the voltage reading if you find it is off a bit. The kit even includes a small screwdriver to turn the pan! Finally, there is a little guide that explains how to set the appropriate battery chemistry that the meter uses to read the voltage. The voltage range is from 8 to 90 volts so it works well for the most commonly used voltages for battery powered devices: 12v, 24v, 36v, 48v, 72v. This is a really good meter and the price is very good Quality of the device, the versatility of reading 3 different types of battery chemistry and the information displayed. Featured!
