Hi John an' All;
I see this as a reoccuring theme here. Nice conversions with crappy
instramation, the $1.97 meter that Lee mentioned. I think it's worth to come
inbetween here; go out and buy a good Simpson panel Ampmeter, or some other
brand that'll goya about 60bux. But is pretty accurate, need the shunt, too.
NOW yu have an idea what's happening, under yur seat. Also have the matching
Simpson Voltmeter. I am used to the car, and can tell how much I have left,
just by the voltage drop, as accurately displayed on the large 4" panel
meter. As I compare voltage out vs amps being used. Not as cool as a E'meter
like alota yu guy have, but it works. Also works to check yur charging
situation, at a glance.
IMHO
Seeya
