I want to use this meter on my battery charger, what would the wiring diagram look like?thanks

assume the charger is an isolated 12V charger, and current maximum is 100Amp. calculate the vale of shunt = 0.075/100 = 0.00075 ohm (connect shunt on the negative side of the charger) And connect wires from meter as follow, Black wire to negative side of negative of the charger SHUNT is 0.00075 and connect between nagative side of the charger and negative side of the battery (use Big 100A wire 8AWG). positive charger to battery positive (use big 100A wire 8AWG) Green wire to (-) side of shunt. Yellow wire to (+) side of shunt. blue and red wire to battery positive. now you can read charger voltage and charger current.

The meter supply with polarity connector, black and red wire, which represent minus and plus. The unit does not work at all if change polarity.i do not know what will happen if connect minus 5 v and plus 5 v. without ground. I assume it will not work or just show something wrong. Also, I take a look on surface mount parts and see that red wire via connector goes to diode. You may order this little thing just for few $ and blew up it under your desire in many different ways.

Yes. As long as you make sure that ALL the negative cables from the battery go to the shunt that is included with the meter, It will show you amps being used, total amp-hours used and amps that the battery is being charged from alternator, solar panels or battery charger.

Maybe. The meter in your charger may use an external shunt, while this meter has a shunt built in. That would definately not work. If the wires to your old meter are thin, that is a hint that an external shut is being used. If you remove your old meter and you can still charge a battery with the meter removed, then you do have an external shunt somewhere in the battery charger.You could splice this meter into the cables coming out of the charger, but you would have to construct it carefully so that there is no exposed wiring. A spark can cause the hydrogen generated by a charging battery to explode. My recommendation is to just buy a new charger Maybe.

did you include all the batteries in series when you connected the 2 leads from the meter? if you accidendally missed a battery you would only get 30 volts 2 batteries missed would read only 24 volts.If you have a multimeter/voltmeter check the voltage between the 2 leads that you hooked the battery meter to,fully charged should read close to 36 volts.if your batteries are going bad your charger may show as a full charge but still have less than 36 volts.

This is a frequently asked question. The voltage was apparent, however the amperes was guess work and I got the 50%-50% choice wrong. I emailed the seller and they replaced it no charge so I used the other wire. The meter has worked flawlessly for several months.

There is no need for a connection kit if the meter will be installed close to the battery shunt. Just about 6 wires and several fuses!

Depends on your battery set up but in the booklet there are a few diagrams that show the pattern

So I'm not sure exactly sure but I hooked it up to a 2 AMP fuse. I did this because i took apart the car charger (the one that came with my radar detector) and inside of it it had a 2 AMP fuse. I figure that's what i should use.

Sorry, it will not. You need a meter which is calibrated to be compatible with a 12 volt system. You should be able to find one on line as you found this one. Good luck.

if your charger is 48 volt rated then connect to the two leads that leave the battery bank. the one that leaves the last positive terminal is the red connection the3 one that leaves the last negative terminal on the battery bank is the black connection. if it is a 12 volt charger then you have to charge each battery separately

The charge state of your batteries when installing the meter is irrelevent. Just hook up the + and - terminals from the meter to the 36 volt battery output + & - and when you hook up the C terminal either to the cart on/off switch or to the 36 Volt output + terminal the meter will reflect the current charge state.

An on/off switch can only be used on the C terminal to light the display. The + and - terminals MUST be connected all of the time. The battery charger is what resets the meter, not the battery. Consequently, it you turn off all power to the meter, it will not work properly. The amperage draw is about 19 milliamps when the display is lighted and is about 10 milliamps when not lighted. That is 0.019Amps and 0.010 Amps respectively.

YesVoltage side, red wire to +5Vdc supply and black to 5V negative side.meter will read 5.0VdcThen On the current side, red wire to +2Vdc, and load + side.and load negative side to yellow wire.Black wire to 2V negative side. now the meter will read 2V load current.

No you will not. I assume you are using it as a 24v so this charger is a 2 bank which will have 2 fused wires & 2 ground wires that connects to your batterys. The diagram is in detail for which application you choose to use. Once you connect to your application when you get ready to charge all you do is plug in to s 120v outlet. Hope this helps. http://www.batterystuff.com/files/manual-gu2611a1.pdf

Probably not, if it is a 3 pin connector the charger you are supposed to use probably is monitoring the temperature of the batteries while charging. If you are good with electronics you can probably get this to work by wiring in a connector, but it may decrease the life of the batteries and not charge them correctly.

Like your electrical meter. It is great ,12 volt like cellular charger. The range it is not the best but working good at 30 feet from the station . :-)
