Customer Reviews

Good idea, short stem
The only problem I have is that for a Lincoln Mark VII, the stem is a quarter inch too short and almost impossible to connect. Have to place backwards and read upside down.

Vector Cigarette lighter voltmeter
I bought several as stocking stuffers for my driving sons. On occasion I get no start calls, and I wanted to have some way to get data on the charging system to diagnose over the phone. As the other reviewers stated the unit is good for battery voltage when car is not running and alternator voltage when car is running. The critical info. it will not give me is the drop in voltage when the car is started. Instead it just "resets" and just waits until the car is running. This is a big drawback as far as I am concerned. The lack of voltage drop info limits me from diagnosing battery condition, some info. about excess starter draw, or a poor connection at the starter, battery etc. In retrospect I would have not purchased until I was sure I had a voltmeter that could show me voltage drop. Does anyone know if others do? I might return the ones I have not opened.

Awesome Device - Use in Aircraft
I bought this exact unit for use in my aircraft, which is a 28V electrical system running a 24Volt battery. It came in very handy just last week, when the alternator died in flight, and I quickly and easily found the problem, and returned to base by using this device. Not having this device would have cost me more time and gas before catching the alternator problem. Now, I am buying 4 more, two for each of our cars, and two for a friend for each of his cars.
