Voltage monitoring LED

[Jaws]

Hate knocking any product esp when it is bloody useful, but on Friday had the last one of the 5 I bought and had out on test fail.

They all just stopped working.. no reason......... And one was in a car so not water related

my old mans 1955 bsa has an amp meter in the cowl, and it still works.

I have a Davey Lamp somewherde.. Ok works crap as an amp meter but that still works too

What size are the ones that are failing ???? were your test ones all the same size John ??? what size is yours Clive ??

I fitted new on/off switch under seat for my coms etc today and wired the LED monitor in at the side of it to try it out... working fine up to yet and its mounted solid on the undertray ... will see how it goes and post up

I too bought one of these, never actually fitted it, but I did notice that when I placed the wires on the battery as a tester, there was a significant spark (and yes they were the right way round :-0)), which is wierd for something that shouldn't be taking any more that 10-15mA.

My 10mm LED unit was fitted in December, mounted on angle bracket just below the instrument panel. I took Silverfox's advice and sealed the vulnerable bits in epoxy resin, and it's been working fine. I use the bike every day.

Probably got the Army guarding it against moisture!:-0)

what size is yours Clive ??

:k
Oh sorry the LED :-0), Its 8mm middle size if I remember correct.
Had mine on since (whatever date I posted, end November)... Though I've not done more than 500/600 miles since fitting.

Mine goes green as soon as the engine is fired, even at tickover with all lights on ...

so do we wait until it goes to red before we buy a new battery h1d1ng2

 

[g1948]

Mine flickers red at a gentle tickover, but turns green as soon as we're above 1100rpm. I like the reassurance it gives. No problem with lights being on.

Here's mine. You can just see the LED below the Trip reset button.

Now I call that neat, only a 5mm hole. It's just glued in from behind with silicone, the wire runs round under the trim, and the sealed heatsink electrics do dah is stuck with double sided tape to the side of the main frame spare.

And No2, the new one complete with Alarm led to balance the effect.

By the way, my 8mm LED is still doing the biz after about 3000 miles.
