    Hello gurus. Just wanted to know if any of you know where i can get a reasonably priced, er cheap, 12V voltmeter. A black face with red backlight would be a definite plus but not a necessity. Black face with digital red LCD would be interesting ... how much are these? I live in the south. Please help me. Hope to hear from you. Thanks is advance.

    Deeco sa Raon or any electronic shop in that area. Sanwa is a very good and reliable brand. I have mine since highschool and it is still working up to now.

    voltmeter shows your battery's voltage. yes

    kung 10 volts, car wont start. pacharge mo battery mo. kung ayaw umakyat ng at least 12 volts while idling and 14.4 volts reved, check your alternator

    Don't forget to get extra fuses for it, if you're new to multimeters and accidentally overload it. Don't ask how I know

    Hello Sir! You can try calling MASPRO in Banawe, Quezon City... Their number is 413-4872! I got my voltmeter from them...You can choose the color that you need... I have a blue LED display for mine... They also have a red LED display and I think in amber color also...

    Pag ang battery voltage at no load umabot ng 12V or less. May problen na ang battery, malamang for replacement na. Ideally kasi nasa 2.2Volts per cell. Ang 12Volt battery ay may 6 cells so dapat di bababa ng 13.2V pag walang load.

    PAki linaw nga, volt meter as an additional gauge sa car o multitester, yun ginagamit ng mga electronic technician?

    Good Day Sir Afrasay! Yung voltmeter ko po nakakabit sa aking cigaret lighter sa car... Diba po it indicates kung nagkakarga ang battery mo sa car and to monitor also the alternator? Digital po sya na maliit.

    Important ata na merong ganito since baka nahihirapan na pala kumarga ang battery natin kapag maraming gadgets tulad ng may car audio set-up, TV, DVD player etc...

    Thanks Lady rider. I'll call them tomorrow.

    *afrasay & esnie.com

    Where can i take a look at the Sanwa brand?

    *vtech

    Am looking for a gauge / meter. Actually, its for my big bike so a lighter plug wont work .... unless i take it apart hhhhhmmmmmm All the needles of my bike gauges point down (6 o'clock position so am hoping i could get a voltmeter with a downward pointing needle and a racing look in a black case (red numbers and red backlight is a plus but not necessary) - plus am hoping it would be dirt cheap. Maybe i'm asking too much hehe
