Digital Voltmeter - recommendation needed

Brian,
where do you want to locate it - trailer or tug? Close to the battery as possible is best. Look at
baintech.com.au
I use a universal power socket with built in digital voltmeter and three power outlets.

If you want more than just voltage..., you will probably have to go with a power management system... More $$$$. But take a look at baintech, they have lots of stuff.

jaycar do a small digital voltage meter with also an in and out temp display and clock for AFAIK about $39.
I have had one for 12 years now and it is still going strong. although the clock has given up, and it is accurate within about 0.1 volt.
I recall it was used by a camper trailer manufacturer at one stage.

Sidewinder ABR have a cigarette lighter voltmeter which is very convenient, accurate and inexpensive (less than $20 I think).

I have one in my Ultimate camper and can check the voltage whilst inside of the camper.

I find it fascinating that you can buy a fairly respectable digital multimeter for less than $20 these days, but be buggered if you can get a decent basic digital voltmeter for that.

However
Not long ago Jaycar/ Electus braught out the QP5586 self powered led digital voltmeter, and matching ammeter.

these come for arround $25 retail.

I've been running one of these stuck to the top of my fuse box for a a few months now and it seems to be a reasonable thing..it seems accurate compered to my better multimeters and is still going.

The only beef I have is that it is LED and ya cant dim the display so, not the best for in dash.

but reasonable and far more affordable than other digital pannel metters than have come to market thus far.

I've played with the clock / thermometer / voltmeters, and they are crappy things and cant be easily flush mounted, although they are reasonable accurate.

cheers

Another company worth a look at is http://www.12volt.com.au/

I recently fitted a Projecta digital dual volt meter and found it to be a good little unit. Very compact but has a clear display for 2 battery voltages.
