    hmm have not seen dig. voltmeters that plug into cig lighters, but digital voltmeters used in sound setups could be DIYed/wired to plug into cig lighters using cig. plug adaptors..

    me also wants to put a voltmeter on my van....this is much better in monitoring your car's charging system, unlike the somewhat useless ammeter..

    my prob nalang whether analog o digital ikakabit ko? ang prob kasi sa digital, daming components than the analog type...

    Concorde has them also. But they seem brandless and the displays are not that nice.

    Digital voltmeters are instruments that measure voltage or voltage drop in a circuit. They use solid-state components and display values digitally

    ang disadvantage ng portable VOM is di mo siya pwede imonitor kung nasa biyahe ka na... unlike yang permanent, anytime ka tumingin, humahataw ka sa highway, o stuck sa traffic, mamomonitor mo talaga kung maganda ang karga ng alternator mo... dapt maintained kasi ung 13.5v-14.5v kahit na full load upang maiwasang madrain ang battery mo...lalo na kung naka av setup ride mo...

    for proper monitoring, dont you need 2 volt meters? 1 for battery to make sure it can still sustain the 12v, and 1 for the alternator, to make sure that it is delivery enough voltage to charge the battery.

    since they are connected in parallel, they will always have the same reading (assuming di significant ang losses sa wires ha...)
