That AH meter at lightobject looks very interesting. It doesn't say what shunt or range of shunts it can use that I can see. I have a buck converter that I can put on my tractor to power the meter, but obviously I'd need to use a shunt to measure current. I have a 50mV/500A shunt installed; do

I have one in my truck and it works great. It wants a 75mV shunt but I have a 50mV/500A. You just lie the meter--I.e. I said it was connected to a 75mV/750A shunt. The manual is available here: http://www.lightobject.info/viewtopic.php?f=14t=1074 Jack Rickard of EVTV has written a plain english

Thanks for the additional information, Denis. I admit that I took a quick glance and thought the unit was much simpler than it actually is. But a 2 display? For eyes over 40? :-) I guess they figure the availability of the Android app makes up for the dinky display. But I'd REALLY prefer

Thank you! That's perfect! All you are really doing is programming mV/A with a max of 75mV, so that makes sense. The EVTV diagram says Isolated 12v to 12v DC-DC Converter. I didn't see anywhere else that the negative power terminal on the JLD404AH cannot be tied to the COM terminal. And all my

I don't use manganin battery leads (no one does), but I like a temperature-stable reference, and 10-15mV drop in normal operation is noise. ☺ And my longest battery lead is in the middle of my pack so it's biased by half the pack, which would mean that it would be more of a pain to measure since

The problem is that 10-15 mV is noise on a battery cable, but 20-30% of range for a typical meter with 50 mV input sensitivity. That's why you need a shunt that is very stable. Mike On May 14, 2014 6:26:15 PM MDT, Michael K Johnson via EV ev@lists.evdl.org wrote: I don't use manganin

Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Peter, although ±4% for 90% of the typical annual temperature change here isn't TOO bad! I'm guessing temperature affects on battery capacity are of a similar magnitude. I think I like the hall-effect torus sensor better. A 50 mV drop at 500 A is 25
