Battery Status Monitor

After having an alternator failure recently, I have become paranoid about checking that the charging system is working OK on my 2000 FXDX

Today, Limey Dave and I talked about Battery Status Monitors - the modern version of checking voltage in the battery.

I have just ordered one from A O Services - at £20 - to fit on the handlebars.

AO Services - Battery Status Monitor specification

Will let you know how it works.

Re: Battery Status Monitor

You could mount one of these!
It a HD voltage gauge and single mount for handlebars.



HD voltmeter form the side showing clearance between gauge back and stem nut.



The coin holder is a 'gift' from a friend. LOL
