SMART Battery Checker

[Vincent]

Thinking of ordering one of these, tells you when your battery is getting low. 'Has the two round connecters for your battery and most bike chargers will plug straight in. This is a lot cheaper than the Big Bad Bay but I havn't ordered off them before.

Anyone got one?

I know the battery is low/ready for the bin when it won't/struggles to start off the button which is very rare for me.

I wouldn't buy that looks like a novelty gadget what will soon be forgotten.

Maybe put the money towards an Optimate, you probably do not need the latest aka most expensive model, version 4 does everything I need and I guess version 3 would too.

For the cost of your gizmo you can buy a Lidl or Aldi smart charger and have change left over, I use one of these too and it works just fine.

Fit a quick connector to the bike\charger and plug in without need to connect crocodile clip type attachments, easy and convenient.

I use Tamiya connectors (same as comes with the optimate) on the Aldi\LIdl.

Very, very expensive for a volt meter.

You can get a digital volt meter for 99p delivered from China.
Probably make something like this for pennies if you find someone with some basic electronics knowledge.

As G said.

I fitted one of these to a Tamiya connector, plug into connector fitted to bike and you have a cheap voltage readout device.

Or connect to handlebar via 12vaccessory socket for permanet display.
