Installing a power meter
- Thread starter jimtown54

The instalation will depend on what type of meter you want to use? I like the simple analog type meter ( LIKE A GAS GUAGE ) as all it requires is 2- 18 guage wires run from wherever meter is mounted back to battery pack. Plus side goes to last cable ( Heavy Cable ) from battery to solenoid, and MINUS of last MINUS POST battery in pack. Always check for correct voltage across batterys. This allows meter to be ON all the time which is OK because so little draw is caused by meter that really makes NO DIFFERENCE in charging.
I always install a 5 amp in line fuse BEFORE the PLUS side of meter for wiring protection.
WHATEVER TYPE OF METER YOU USE THERE SHOULD BE DIRECTIONS THAT YOU SHOULD GO BY.
