Spend thousands on a wheel and cut corners on modifying yr chargers Hoo Hmm You're right, these meters are not of laboratory precision But if you calibrate it by yourself, they keep required accuracy and precision. And we still have to remember that this is for monitoring purpose - meter (even inaccurate) won't interfere into the charging process. So it's better to have a slightly inaccurate meter than not having any. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the HP34401A is for (kidding, probably a "normal" multimeter is enough) Latest news - trimming pot is installed in standard, 7-segment LED amps/volts meter used in many EUC fast chargers. Sadly, there is no trim pot in this new, "7-in-1" meter with OLED display. I bought two meters to test and make another upgrade of my already upgraded fast charger. First I've checked measurement errors. Current metering path seems be very precise, withing tenths of milliampere. But both showed similar voltage measuremen error, showing 11.8 volts for 12 volts of actual voltage. However it was very easy to solve - I just replaced 10 kohm resistor in the low side of voltage divider with 10 kohm resistor + 1 kohm trim pot in series and voilla! Now it's easy to calibrate the meter and it's really precise and stable. NSo nw I have a complete readout - not only voltage and current, but also charging power and overall charge transferred to the battery. For minor features there is also timer and temperature measurement. If one have a charger with simple, volt/amp meter with LED readout it is very easy to replace with this new one. Dimensions and plastic housing is the same, but there may be different signal order in the smaller, 3-pin connector. Wire colors are unchanged (black is ground, red is meter power and yellow is charger output/measured voltage), so you just need to rearrange the pins in the connector. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the perfect solution. Hey ! It work for MSX you think ?? don't broken ? Edited June 5, 2019 by kelec_947 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beast@tanagra Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) Rack as many as three wheels for under twenty bucks and zero labor by using off-the-shelf bed risers. Pros: Cheap, simple, sturdy, works with any size wheel (my MTen3 up to V10F, at least). Tire completely off floor. Portable. Cons: Takes a little bit of dexterity while stowing wheel to plant the bases of the pedals directly over the risers. Risers easy to knock out of position if you screw up. If I was just a tiny bit less lazy, I would use the screw holes that already exist in the bases of my risers and screw them into a piece of plywood (or even cardboard) so they can no longer be bumped out of position.
