Thank you sir! Farming out the cable work makes one less thing on my plate, plus Motion Pro is just up the highway from me and they do good work so it's a no brainer.

Re: Nuckingfuts Custom Build
was looking for the smallest voltmeters on the planet and found these micro voltmeters on ebay so I decided to try'em out.
I really wanted something inconspicuous that I could use to keep an eye on my charging system. Shelling out big dough on the Shorai battery I want to make sure that the vintage charging components don't fry my new tech.
Since the voltmeter came unhoused I had to make my own enclosure to protect the electonics. Now I could have easily ran down to an electronics shop to find a solution but after searching my kids rooms (picture lots of arts n' crafts crap laying around) I found an option.
Now this is where you start calling me on hokie jeryrigging and all that business. Call me crazy but I dug through my son's Legos and found a viable option (don't tell my son though).
After an hour or so of whittling on Legos I had this.
Threw some epoxy into the mix to seal it up and she's ready for duty.
I'm thinking this will be a nice tucked away location that won't draw too much attention.

Heh...heh, glad everyone got a kick out of that one. Yeah I picked it up on ebay for a couple bucks and reads to within 0.1V of actual. Here's a link:

Nice job on that one. I just mounted a wireless rearview camera on the back of my travel trailer. Had to resort to eBay to find a suitable enclosure to mount it in because all the local Radio Shack stores have closed and nobody else in the area had anything even close. Guess I should have made one with the Legos we keep for the grandkids.

Actually my batt has been sitting in garage for 12 months and is down to 75% and needs to be topped off. It's a Shorai and really needs to read above 13.2V

Yep, radio shacks are all but gone here in the bay area as well.

Grab an EarthX instead of the Shorai. Better built in charge protection
