5 out of 5 stars Awesome Device - Use in Aircraft   August 7, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this exact unit for use in my aircraft, which is a 28V electrical system running a 24Volt battery. It came in very handy just last week, when the alternator died in flight, and I quickly and easily found the problem, and returned to base by using this device. Not having this device would have cost me more time and gas before catching the alternator problem. Now, I am buying 4 more, two for each of our cars, and two for a friend for each of his cars.


2 out of 5 stars Minimalist auto voltmeter   April 28, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This product has a dim display, a questionable voltage reading, and is poorly designed for viewing the display. Buy the Equus 3721 (which I did) and found it far superior.


4 out of 5 stars Does the Job   February 10, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

It works. Plug it in to your cig. lighter and it displays the voltage drop across the lighter.

It could have been a bit more flexible in terms of placement of the display. But other than that, its a good buy. Helps me keep an eye on my battery and alternator output.



5 out of 5 stars Useful tool for motorhomes, and vehicles that sit...   November 11, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

My motorhome has elaborate charging and monitoring for the house batteries, but nothing for the starting battery. This is an excellent tool to use to keep track at a glance to make sure the starting battery isn't allowed to get too low before taking some means to charge it. Don't expect accurate readings, as mine was reading about 0.5 volts low compared to a real voltmeter (until I opened it and adjusted the little pot).

Still, even without adjusting, if you park it, note whatever it reads fully charged (actually about 12.65V), and once once you see it has dropped a half of a volt, it is time to charge. I suspect they are all set a little different.

Well worth the price, but fragile as noted earlier.



5 out of 5 stars A handy gizmo!   November 2, 2007

A very convenient, easy to read device for monitoring the condition of the battery in your vehicle. It is backlit enough to read at night though the LED lights are sufficent to know if you have a problem or not. I also like the portability of the unit. If someone else is having a problem, it is quite simple to plug it into their vehicle to check battery status. A nice little unit for the price!
