mad vapes sells the same 1s-6s volt meter; theirs is ~$7

Just checked, they are in stock and $6.99

Battery Voltage Indicator

I was reading in that link description for the meter -these may not work if used with a switching regulator.
Im not the sharpest needle with that being said will those work with the LM 2596 board i just bought if so i can add another part to my inventory unless there is something smaller i could use.
Thanks .

wouldn't that stop at 4.5 and not read lower? due to the power requirement like the one I got that stops at 6?

Everything I build has more than 4.5 v so no problem for me, for those who only use one battery it wouldn't work, It says it reads 0-99..

I am not sure why yours stops at 6 and the one I have goes down to 3.0 and up to 6.8 ..... But most of the time I am in the 4.0 to 4.8 range

Is yours a 2s or a 1s, if it is a 1s you have it wired wrong, the same thing happened to me when I wired the first time like you drew, you can not read the pos in and out of the regulator on separate pins.

 

[notsmoking]

Now I am not sure if it is 1s or 2s but I have mine hooked up with the red wire just before the atty and the blk is hooked to my battery grd.

Thanks for you help again BJ.

Notsmoking.....send a pic of your meter.... BJ is right ....they sell both 1s-6s and 2s-6s....on ebay that look different... the 2-6 are all on red ocb, and the 1-6 have pins coming directly out the bottom of the display, in almost all that I saw.

I haven't had a reason to use my large VV Batt/PT mod in months, hardly ever away from a AC/12v source or in the car or airplane. My much smaller VV PT is my daily fulltime PV and now with the "Cheap Line" I just finished, it is really a joy. Building a rechargeable snap on battery pack for it when needed. Like when I am fly fishing in the middle of a stream. A 11.1 Li-po in a box. that snaps onto the PT.

This is the cheap line, very easy to make and less than $10.

Hmmm, a snap on model. Why not create a separate power source and use that as a pass through? Like an altoid box battery pack with a 2.1 jack, maybe?

That is what my VV Batt/PT is. The large one in the pic.

Ok, I was thinking something like the small one with an external battery pack that could use a 2.1 jack then you can get or mod a cable to be 2.1 to 2.1 male to male and viola, you have portable power that is interchangeable with a very small unit for vaping. I have a feeling we are on the same page here.

I have a couple of large battery packs and have used them to power PT but to bulky and most only put out 5v. Thinking something much smaller that will snap onto the back of the small box.

A 2.1mm to 2.1mm hard bridge jumper is what I am building to snap the two together.

 

[chatter97]

Hmm, was thinking of 14500s maybe in an altoids with one of those fancy charging boards that has trickle charge and all that jazz. Wire them in parallel and in series, so they can be 3.7 to the charger and 11. whatever to the pv.

Tore apart two 90 degree 2.1mm plugs to build it. lol on the same page..
