Friends: 1 | We made the modification to fit the way we use the system. While knowing exactly how many volts are left is certainly useful, however we don't want a multimeter velcro'd to the dash. The LED wasn't serving its purpose at all and the buzzer will certainly tell us know when to turn the system off, which is all we need. Our main goal was to make the interface look less like a 'kit'. |

Friends: 0 | Nice work on the rocker switch enhancement! Would you happen to have a link to that part as well? Does the LED on the switch light up when in the 'on' position? (couldn't really tell from the pic) Have you had a chance to test your buzzer? How do you like it? Can you hear it from it's location (behind the button?)? Does it stop buzzing when you turn off the system? Thx! |

Haven't had a chance to run the voltage down to 46v yet to test the buzzer. We tested the buzzer with a battery and it was plenty loud for us. Yes it should stop buzzing after you shut the system down since it is connected in place of the red LED. | |

Friends: 20 | Couldn't quite figure out from the post, but are you able to read the Volt reading from the cockpit? A wireless Voltmeter or something? 11011011 |

Friends: 10 | Yes, I have a Voltmeter in my forward cupholder. It is wired (with an inline fuse) to the main terminals between the batteries and converters. |
