Review on πŸ”‹ 48 Volt Trojan Battery Indicator Meter Gauge for Yamaha EZGO Golf Cart with Trojan Batteries by Carlos Burrows

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Manual reset required -- PLEASE READ

This is NOT a voltmeter that only converts voltage to bars (wish it was - it SHOULD be). After more than a week of fiddling, I've come to the conclusion that in most cases you need to MANUALLY reset the counter after each battery charge for it to work properly. The meter only shows the falling voltage. When you charge your batteries, the meter needs to be reset. The documentation states that to reset the counter the charge must reach 56+ volts. In my case, my batteries are almost 5 years old and can only hold about 50.7 volts. Therefore, the counter is not reset and freezes at the level it was showing before the battery was charged. My solution was to place a switch on the 12V side. I turn the meter off while charging and turn it back on when it's finished, which manually resets the switch. As I said in the opening statement, this is not a simple voltmeter, but it HAS to be. Take the displayed voltage and convert it to bar format. It's supposed to be that simple, but it's not - it only works when the voltage drops, and then it needs to be reset to read fully.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
