Stop taunting me with your delightful LED bar graph!!!

I have been jealous of that thing for a long time!

The battery shop guys are real nice. They fixed my Optima post for merely the price of "come see us when you want new batteries". I will most likely buy a flooded battery or two from them after this for the Citicar.

Tom, who is building the 300V AC Neon, has a REALLY SLICK built-from-scratch battery monitoring system, that will monitor 27 batteries and log it all to a computer. However, that system isn't done yet, and won't be until after some other work on his car. I am guessing that the monitor system is a year away.

Ryland suggested that I get a PakTrakr. That is about $300 for a system that will handle 12 batteries, including amperage and watts.

I like the idea of it being "turn-key" and it handles a lot of functions.


EDIT: I got a message from Doax. He is interested in an LED Bar chart meter for his electric riding mower project.

Looks like we are going in together on parts to build a set of LED meters.
