Default Look What I Made

Too much time on my hands, I'd bought one of these on FleaBay recently-


So I got a plastic box from Maplins and got to work with the dremel-


Bit of double sided sticky-


And with the car running-


Only draws 8.2mA so ought to be able to leave it connected, but will probably fit a switch when I fix it in permanently.
Nice afternoons work, there you go!

Brilliant and I appreciate the neatness of your work rich, but as I'm not machanically minded, what does it do!

It basically does the job of a volt meter and tells you the voltage across the battery.

My Apexi RSM does this

Nice work, but you could have bought a voltage gauge for £10

I have boost gauge that does this, displays voltage for the first 60seconds.

Give an indication of the condition of your battery (not under load, before some smart A points it out).Girls HUH!
