An average battery at a temperature of 80 degrees F can be measured with a voltmeter. Those readings will show voltage and battery charge as follows A ratio of 65 to 12 is 100%. The answer is 45, which equals 75%. The sum of 24 and 12 equals 50%. I have calculated that 06 = 25%, and 89 means discharged. A reading of around 10 represents a good reading. It is useless/dead to have a battery with a value of 50.
While the gauge should read 6 volts fine, the indicator lights will probably always indicate that the battery is low on charge due to the fact that the device is designed to focus on
Battery power is only available from 12 volts.
A simple voltmeter will let you know how much charge is in your battery, as well as whether it is 1/3, 2/3, and The indicator is good for getting an idea of the battery's condition, but it is not an exact instrument.

It has been used on the lake for 4 morning boat trips. It is accurate to say that there are negatives to the digital display. Due to the glaring led lights, the back light is useless and it's virtually impossible to read. To make solid contact, you have to get used to it. Although it seemed accurate in some aspects. I assume it died due to the heat in 94 degree weather on the lake this past week. Keeping it out of water in a tackle box was the best way. The light now sporadically comes on in my garage. In addition, the clear plastic cover that covered the digital display has become My experience with Minnkota was very disappointing.
I love how easy it is to use and how affordable it is! There was some discussion about the short negative lead, but I was able to test it across a two-dimensional space - Battery bank (positive and negative posts on one battery). I would still be unable to use this device if I had more than two batteries in the bank, although it would seem better if I had more. If someone is looking for something to use with a single 12V auto/marine battery, this is not the quickest option Here's the problem. appreciate seeing both the quality and voltage of a battery, but the LCD voltage display can be difficult to see in a shaded environment such as a garage because of the blinding effect of the LEDs that indicate the level of battery life. would really be more useful if it was backlit, but all I had to do was put my thumb over the LEDs and I could I gave this a four star rating because of the kinda short negative test lead and the lack of a backlight on the voltage display (the only reasons I didn't give this a five star rating). In any case, those shortcomings (for me) can certainly be tolerated for the price.
I have not been able to use this. When I check my battery, I see 12, so I assume it is 6V and shows that I still have 2/3 of a battery life to go. Remove it from the charger when the number 2/3 appears. You can use the battery trolling the lake for hours and then check it again and it will say 1/3. It is also necessary to lengthen the chord. Your money is not worth it.
Fishing is something I enjoy doing and I have a favorite spot that is about a mile away that I like to go to. I use a Coleman Crawdad boat with a small trolling motor. In order to keep track of the trolling motor battery power, I use this tool. While it does the job, you may need to make sure that you make good contact with the terminals on the battery. In addition, I'm concerned that it might be damaged if it gets So far, it has been okay stored in a tackle box, but it does seem a little cheap. The next time I buy, I will.
The cord was too short, but I ordered it anyway, and it worked, even though it read in the reviews that it was too short. There was a 45-day period when it worked, then it stopped. We are no longer able to accept returns since the 30 day period has passed.
A seventh of a volt. As I contacted Minnkota regarding several batteries not getting green light on fully charged, I was told it worked well and the cables reached both contacts on the large Marine battery. I believe the cables are shorter to reduce extra wires, which keeps it compact. According to them, the volts should be 12 volts. You must be able to do at least 7. After I charged the battery for an hour on the 2 amp setting, I put the battery in the car. This is enough voltage (12. You need to put 1) in it to see a green light when it is fully charged.
My travel trailer proved to be a handy tool when I realized that they can be used with them. Due to this, I bought another one for myself and some for my family and friends who own Not only does the device list the voltage, but it gives an idea of the remaining charge. - The trolling speed is very useful when you are trolling, but it also helps me to know how long I have left before it is time to charge my trailer battery. Running out of juice especially in the middle of a cold night and being unable to operate the trailer's furnace is no fun.
