another state of charge meter question?
Can you use a 36/48 volt(charge) gauge on a higher voltage. It seems to me if you wire it in the first 6,8 or what ever batteries to match the voltage then it would give a correct reading no matter how high or many batteries were down steam from the connection. Am I correct on this thinking?????ie all batteries would drain at the same amount, wheather 2 batteries or 20 batteries, thus a 36 volt gauge would correctly read any 6-6v batteries in the stream of 12-6v batteries?????

Re: another state of charge meter question?
Yes you can do that. Might not be as accurate as a high voltage meter to match but pretty darn close.

Re: another state of charge meter question?
You can recalibrate these meters with external resistors for what ever voltage you want. I did this for JDSharp when he wanted to use his old 48V meter on his new 64V pack. When you calibrate know your exact high and low voltages.
I do not know if JDSharp is on this forum. |

I don't seem to have editing privileges on this forum to edit my own posts...
FYI: JD's meter was not digital, it was the analog style. |

Re: another state of charge meter question?
Thanks , I believe I will order a 36v meter and accept that it is not 100% accurate, only 90%. I don't won't to be stranded in the woods again!!!!!!!
