battery monitor. I LOVE having this info at all times and this device dominates my cigarette lighter now.
This device alerted me to my alternator issues and I replaced it yesterday without getting stuck (well it clicked yesterday but I also purchased
(super efficient) jump starter that got me going in seconds.)
I didn't waste any time trying to charge the battery or otherwise diagnose my problem.
I want this info at all times.
Has anyone seen a good looking permanently mounted, directly wired digital meter that monitors battery and charging system like this one does?
Other than any off the shelf volt gauge, there really isnt much for an odb1 car. I looked at your thread yesterday and was going to suggest a ScanGauge or TurboGauge-V, but they are for odb2 and utilize the odb2 port to gather data.
I would say if the item you already have works, install an additional outlet in your car, or get a socket expansion plug.

Thanks, I appreciate the reply. If nothing pops up, I will do just that. It has been working. ;-)

I am clueless about odb1 and odb2 (but i will look it up).
I assume we have odb1 from your reply. I didn't see that mentioned in the ads for the gauges' I saw.
