12v lcd display panel

Submitted: Wednesday, Nov 01, 2006 at 14:00

Member - Cruiser (NSW)

Hi everyone,

I have just bought a new van with a battery pack and would like to be able to connect some sort of LCD display that will tell me at a glance how many volts are in my battery.

I have looked at the Jaycar and Dick Smith sites, but the trouble is that I dont know what they would call this. I have tried a few varitaions but with no success.

Anyone done this and if so, whats it called and where do I get one.

Thanks,

Cruiser

The term "Battery Monitor" usually covers it. Type it in under Google via this link and search to your hearts content.

Cruiser,

I have a BEP Marine, BEP 600-VM2 in my Kimberley Kamper. Works very well and shows voltage and amps. I'm not sure how much they are as it came fitted.

See the link...

Ebay is also a good start for a search.

Derek,

Can you please MM me with prices and cost of delivery for these 2 items. The second one seems to be what I am looking at, but guess price will dictate how much I want it.

Thanks,

Cruiser
