Just got a new small but pricey Shorai lithium iron battery. Wanted to set up a little flush mount blue led voltmeter on my bike to monitor it. I am thinking it uses so little juice that I could run it right to the battery so it is on all the time - but I'm not sure. Any thoughts on where to run the leads? My ride is a ( work in process) Yamaha xv 750.
Crapola!! I paid about $3 for that lil toy. LOL Can't I connect it so that it's parasitic draining only happens when the bike is running ? Or I suppose I could attach an on/off switch to it.... Current consumption is only 5 - 15 mA
Yep, just wire it in the power circuit after the ignition so it comes on only when the key is turned. the meter is a good idea to watch what is going on so put it somewhere on the bike you can see it without taking your eyes off the road too long like near the tach or speedo, I have one on my old GL and it is important because that bike does not charge well sitting at idle and I can watch the battery and give the bike some revs if it starts to go to low.
