Title: digi volmeter if practical for you
Post by: nathankaye on August 17, 2017, 12:20:13 pm

So these are cheap as chios and ordered a handful for my trolley project but ive used one or two in van and proving to be quite good. I have one on my battery for my reel so i can keep a better eye on it.

I love the cable ties to keep your connections on. 😂

If you have any power problems then Get some battery terminals with bolts and eyelets, makes for a much more reliable connection.

Its no problem. Its a new battery that i got for the trolley project but i didnt check the size of it out before i ordered it 😯   so i swapped it for the one that i normally use in the van for the motor to the reel. So ties were a quick fix for that day only.

You guys dont miss anything do you.

It will be interesting project to follow P & F; size of panel, make of Mppt controller,  etc. to see the end result and follow up reviews.

You will also need to fit an ampere meter into the line so you can see what is going into the battery, unless you have one of those controllers that monitor that for you.
