Topic: Installation battery status monitor

[dakota]

Hi,
I have bought a BSM (battery status monitor) from http://www.aoservices.co.uk/data/bsm.htm
The BSM is a limited range LED voltmeter, designed to monitor the voltage across a 6V or 12V lead-acid battery.
The BSM will change colour dependent on its input voltage; the colour will indicate the operational state of the battery.
Connection: join the positive (RED) and negative (BLACK) wires to the ignition circuit and earth.

So, where is the best place to cut the wires and connect the BSM?

thx,
gp

        I would think in the headlight case would be an easy hook-up. The way I understand it you connect the red to a lead that gets hot when the ignition is on and connect the black to ground. You could connect it using jumper leads just to test it.

I installed a Battery Bug (similar gauge) I connected each wire to the opposite ends of my battery cables. Red to the solenoid, black to the frame. It doesn't draw enough juice to drain the battery at all.
