 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Hi guys, I've got an idea and initial design for a "dongle" that will connect to a battery (2, 6, or 12v) to monitor temp and voltage. So far no big deal but you can have as many as you like daisy-chained on every battery in a bank, each can have its own LED display or another option is to have them communicate with another device like an Arduino for display/logging etc. So my questions are... Is there anything like this already around (I can't find anything)? Is this a useful idea in the first place? ______ Rob Rob Gray, AKA the Graynomad, www.robgray.com |

Take a look at some of the posts in the EV forum - I think something like that is being used to handle battery balancing. seems like it'd be useful to me. |

I've searched the entire forum for "battery monitor", "battery monitoring" and various similar phrases and cannot find a single reference which I find very strange given the gist of this forum and the fact that that exact phrase is in the topic of this thread. I would think a search would find in EV as well but I'll have a trawl through those threads manually. Go figure. And to me but obviously not to anyone else
