LED volt meter [RE-wrenches]

[John Blittersdorf, Cent. VT Solar & Wind]

Todd,
   I have two BCM meters that were originally made by SunAmp Power in Mesa, 
Arizona.  I think I have seen them in a catalog somewhere recently so they 
are still available.  I have actually been thinking of including one with 
every system in addition to the E-meter I install as they tend to instill 
false fear that the batteries are low and some of my customers need a jolt 
once in awhile.  I still use one on a secondary system in my house (3  40 
watt Kyosera panels -1980 vintage) that powers my 12v SunFrost.  It is at the 
bottom of the cellar stairs and if I see green down there, I don't worry 
about that system, when it is yellow I keep a closer eye and when red, 
especially blinking red, time to start the crossover battery charger. 
My first install in 1994 had (and still has)one and their Sears golf cart 
batteries lasted 7 years...just replaced them with Trojan L16's.  I thought 
about trying to sell him an e-meter but he is happy with the simple lights.
