dougbgt6 Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Ooooooo! I used to have an ammeter which tells you instantly the state of things, unfortunately ALL the current involved was going through it, requiring some very chunky cables behind the dash which did get "quite" hot. So I replaced it with a battery condition gauge, which tells you not very much until it's too late. I now have an ammeter that senses the current going through the cable via a coil around the cable. Unfortunately the display is digital, the numbers are OK, but it only differentiates charge or discharge by a dot, or absence of dot. So I'll have a look at this.

"Hello it's your battery, I'm going flat." Modern gadget, I can't be doing with it. Smart phone that is, I'm sticking with my "reasonably intellegent" one ☎️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hello Doug, I do not suppose you are currently in that neck of the woods, or to be more specific between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Dunbar 🙄 ?? Regards. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Richard, No, my brother's in Scotland this last month, I'm setting off for Berwick next week when he heads home. But with my new gizmo I will still be with you all. If I'm in Dunbar I've overshot. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
