Just had this from the eBay man..




Hello,


Yes, this is doable. The person who posted this (James I am sure it must have been) in fact requested a green output at his 13v to 15v setting. It?s entirely up to you how you want it however.

I have checked something with James regarding fitting this to his lens, and it is likely that any I supply to you will have the LED on short leads connected to the board, not directly connected to the board as it presently is.

I will let you know James? response.


Kind regards

Andrew



So whats the thoughts ?....I have had real electrical problems in my car for years...reckon any kind of warning is just going to help....this all seems good...

Ask for this


(Red for problem, Orange Warning, No Display all OK )

>15v – Red Flashing – over voltage warning
13v to 15v – no output – normal, charging
12.4v to 12.99v – Orange. Battery good, but not charging (as seen with ignition on, engine not running)
<12.4v – Orange Flashing. Battery charge poor and not charging – attention needed

Lead Lengths 300mm/LED 5mm/ Inline circuit board.

Mounting Bezel not required not required. ( I have an existing panel lamp bezel which is a snug fit for a 5mm LED)

This option allows the LED to fit a Standard 2CV lens cover/holder , the circuit board is protected with heat shrink, the leads ensure the board doesn't put any strain on the LED.

Just a thought on the 'trigger' voltages of this device.

Stock voltage regulators for A series vehicles are set to give 14.4 volts maximum, which also happens to be the voltage at which a standard lead acid battery will start 'gassing', so would 14.5 volts be a more suitable choice for when the led starts to show an overcharge?

ive got a Dyane dash hacksawed in half and the voltage gauge strapped to the side of the dash beside the HardleyDangerous tach.- ok not the most accurate and susceptible to cold and not too keen standing on its head

looks better than it sounds :D

James he probably thinks you know what your talking about.

why not just get what Pete told you? with the additional info that Ken gave .IE the warning light comes on at 14.5v which is when the battery starts to boil
