Re: [diesel_mercedes] Review of LED Voltmeter

 

Bobby, what's 1/2 a digit? Is it split top to bottom or left to right?

Tried it at night.  The LEDs are brighter than I would like, but was not distracting.  It was OK.

Clarification: the meter is called an LED.  I'm not sure. They are red, but not little round dots - they are long segments like the old gas discharge tubes but in red.  (There are red dots for the periods.)

Personal preference: The display is 3 digits.  I would have preferred 3 1/2 or 4 digits.

I am using it in a non-MB.

PRO:
Seems to be accurate.  I will try to validate against a good meter.

When I first turn ignition on, it shows battery voltage.  After cranking, it shows alternator voltage.

Lights are bright enough to read in daytime.  I will report after night usage.​
 

​It has a nice long cord, so you can pick a spot you like.

Comes with a fairly large piece of double stick tape.  Not used yet.  Currently sits on a small ledge.​

Can be switched to another car.

Price was incredible - $6.80 delivered.

CON:
Case is a little bit larger than the display.

Does not show cranking voltage.  Not a defect - the cigarette lighter is not powered when cranking.

Summary:
I love it.
