I was a bit curious how much current is pulled during my 5-cylinder diesel start. It's more than I thought.Just before the 8 sec mark the ignition is turned on. The glow plugs pull over 100A. After 12 sec the engine is cranked. Current spikes to o...
I'm checking out the Costco GC2 batteries and Iota 55A converter as well as the new 16-bit a/d for Arduino. Prior to discharging the 208AH GC2 batteries, they were top charged with 16V for about an hour.They are then discharge to about 50% (actually...
I bought it after a link was posted here. I want to use it now but forgotten its spec. It's a great converter, operating in either constant voltage or constant current. The display outputs input voltage, output current, voltage and power.What's the...
Got a new 16-bit A/D. I connected it to the battery to measure voltage (blue plot) and to the 100A battery shunt to measure battery current (pink plot). Positive current is going to the loads (out of the battery) while negative current is charging ...
Not sure if the gauge isn't working or I'm out of propane. I thought I had at least 1/3 left last week. It should have lasted another couple of weeks. There's still propane in the tank as I boiled water this morning for coffee and the fridge is st...

According to the spec, that meter can't measure both ways. It states 0 to 20A. If it can measure current in both directions it would state -20 to 20A.brulaz wrote:I do want the meter to measure net Ah, from both loads and charge sources.
