I don't have a clue how to use the Low Voltage LVM Monitor 2-8S Lipo/Life/Li-Ion Voltage. Can Someone help?

There's a picture on the back just above the pins plug the balance plug in to it starting from negative(black) where the negative sign is

basically plug it in like depicted on picture and you will get a very loud beep and the monitor will read each cell.

I have several 4.8 adapters I should have disposed of but didn't. I need a 5v adapter and I believe 4.8 would suffice, but the tips are ever so slightly different in size, of course, so none would connect. +/- 2 v shouldn't make a noticeable difference as far as I know since battery voltages vary as they drain with no ill effect on the equipment..

The monitor has batteries. The cameras require a 120v standard receptacle to power it. The back of the monitor says 3.7v battery. I don't see an easy way to access it, but there are 4 screws. How hard could it be?

In practice these things are pretty robust. As long as you do the adjustment while there's no output load (just your meter connected) and don't exceed the maximum rated input voltage, you're unlikely to fry it.EDIT: It sounds like one blew up on you, sorry to hear that. This is surprising to me, since the LM2587 has undervoltage lockout. I bench tested this for my application (dropping the input voltage until the thing turned off) successfully several times under 10W load.

These lipo monitor/tester is meant for only on ground monitoring , for inflight monitoring you need telemetry from your aircraft to radio which I know is available on futaba's and spectrum's , you can also fly FPV and monitor battery voltage through an OSD ,(on screen display) which displays battery power through voltage or percentages

There is a voltage issue, sadly. You need a step-down transformer, which is what I use.

I used the 3-cell 11.1v lipo all summer on it. Works completely fine. System is good for 14.4v.

Hi Ken. I am on my second one of these Accutire gauges. My first one lasted over 5 years. In that time I replaced the 3 coin cell batteries maybe twice. I believe they are only for the led display and light. If you get a L on the display, it means the internal lithium battery has finally drained too low. This is a separate battery from the coin cell batteries and I believe it powers the logic circuitry. Once it drains, the gauge becomes useless even if you change the coin cells. You either have to send the gauge back to Accutire to replace the battery, or buy a new Accutire gauge. It's probably better to buy a new one than pay for shipping the old one back but thats a personal preference. And don't waste your time trying to replace it. I tried on my first one but what I found out is once it loses its programming, its gone, even with a new lithium cell put in. I hope this helps answer your question. Happy Holidays!

This is a great charger for the price, but it doesn't have a storage mode. Amazon has the small lipo voltage checkers. Buy several. You can set them to go off at 3.7 volts per cell while flying so each cell will be at 3.85 or something close for storage. NEVER DROP INDIVIDUAL CELL VOLTS BELOW 3.0

I am not 100%, but I did some research and almost all LS2XAXXX monitors use this shape of plug from a 19V adapter. Check the adapter you currently have, make sure the plugs visually match and share the same voltage. The adapter you are buying should be able to put out atleast as much amperage as the original adapter (more is ok or slightly less is ok)

Negative. You would require a way to monitor cell voltage if the 18650 were not individually charged kind of like an rc lipo with the balance plugs. Check out the arduino as a charge controller in conjunction with this boost buck.

I found one on Amazon..but that wasnt my problem..it was the part that plugs into the wall then into my computer...It made it look like it was my battery but acutally after replacing that part with a Dell (other types didnt work) everything worked fine....but about two months later my batter did in fact end up dying...couldnt find one on Amazon that was right voltage..just like you...went to a computer repair shop and they finally found one on line for 15 bucks and it work great ..good luck finding what you need...

Just plug the monitor to a 9V battery that you can buy from the Dollar Tree. Red wire to the positive and black wire to the negative. Use one of those "TV GAMES" joysticks with the built-in games to test it. I tried it yesterday and it worked great!

Get an externle battry from EasyACC male sure its tells you it is for your device the battery in your device is a little to big for the smaller 3v off the panels its what I had to do brighT side is now I have a back up win the power is down for a while I hope this helps

The controller will not be able to detect Low Voltage from a Lithium battery, it is not recommended. There was an issue with this controller, but limited to date code 1401. The date code is found under the battery compartment cover, etched into the plastic. If your unit has this date code, Galcon offers a replacement.

As most have already mentioned jumping the battery is ideal, using the trick in the youtube video that a user posted here is the ideal option. However if you find this is happening chances are that cell is giving out. I had one cell that wouldn't jump probably because it's at the end of it's life. Most good cells will recover enough voltage, i never seen a healthy cell resting at 0 volts, maybe unless it was in storage for too long.

I was still trying to decide what to do, and whether or not to call customer service and order a new computer (based on what people were saying online) when I thought, "let me check the batteries first." Sure enough, they were very low voltage - enough to run the LCD display, but not enough to change resistance apparently. I put new batteries in and the problem has gone away. Try that first, before calling customer service or ordering a new computer.
