    hi fellow tsikoteers..


    Patulong kasi im not familiar.. meron bang digital na ampere gauge that you

    can put in your dashboard? para makikita kung maayos charging and battery.

    ang nakikita ko kasi sa mga jeepneys and old vehicles yung typical amp gauge na pumapalo lang siya kung ni rev.

    nagtanong ako sa concorde last weekend, nagulat ako sa price around 2500.00 sobrang mahal maganda sana.

    maghanap na lang ako sa mga auto supply. magtanong kaya ako sa cDR king... saan shop mo nakita? accurate kaya kung sa car lighter ikabit?

    d ba dapat sa battery na?

    sino nakagamit na?

    thanks

    Automotive voltmeters have two kinds. Analog and digital.



    You can install these on your dashboard either as a pod-style or cutting a hole in a blank area and installing it there.

    ok na rin yung sa lighter plug lang nilalagay. been using it for almost 2 years and it works fine. kabit lang sa lighter then ok na. pwede mo rin i pang test sa ibang kotse. tanong ka sa mga audio shops, sila usually nagbebenta ng mga ganon.

    ganito yung gamit ko.

    hi nakabili na ako last weekend. 850 pesos red digits. yun nga lang wala siya

    brand, its almost the same sa picture mo. 675 lang pala dati.

    hindi na ako naka canvass or look for ibang design mahirap kasi magpark sa banawe unang store na natanungan ko, buy na. very plain lang itsura.

    meter reading ko. if d pa start engine 12.33 to 12.5v ..engine running 13.88 if open na AC and headlights around 13.40v.. ayos pa ba batt and alternator ko?

    thanks

    ok na ok pa charging system mo boss. kapag bumaba ng 12V na umaandar at walang naka-on na accesory like a/c, radio, etc. e either alternator or battery na ang problema. mas mababa pa nga readings sa pipip ko e. gnagamit ko lang e yung multitester.

    ang question ko accurate kaya itong 'lighter' voltmeter? like yung ginagamit if sa battery connect?

    nakikita ko kasi mga auto electrical sa battery sila connect yung tester nila.

    If you're going to buy one, bring a known good multi-tester and use it to compare the output values to the voltmeter. It's hard to say if the voltmeter you're going to buy is accurate or not without doing this comparison test, since those voltmeters are mass-produced and are expected to be not as accurate as a good multi-tester.



    FWIW, I use the ScanGaugeII to display or check the battery voltage.

Amp or Voltmeter gauge na Digital?
