This is a voltmeter that I like to use. 3 usd news for me is a lot of work. His version I have at home in red blue and green color.Voltmeter liked and Electronics engineers from my friends.In this article I’ll tell you why?
You can use the measuring device to measure car batteries as well as other batteries, e.g. for e-bikes, various DC regulators and sources.It can work by being powered from a source that also measures.It can work by being powered from a source that also measures here, the range is 4.5V-30V.
If you need to measure 0-100V, you need an additional power supply , more below for the voltmeter wiring diagram.
Voltmeter is to get three color blue, red, green.LED lighting is sufficient, the most beautiful are blue and red, lately green is so weak yellow.Currently, in the last year, versions appeared that do not have a calibration trimmer with which you could set the accuracy of the voltmeter.Also, the wires are soldered on and can come off, older versions had a connector, it was better.
The voltmeter has a frame that you can place in the panel, the back side is exposed you can see the PCB, the voltmeter is not waterproof, if you need a waterproof voltmeter click on the link below:
Voltmeter is very accurate, the accuracy is + – 0.1V
Has a long lifetime (I sold them 100 + and only one broke down)
Voltmeter can be placed into the panel has handles.
Shows one place after the decimal, which is a condition accurate measurement ..
Some voltmeters can calibrate voltmeters all look the same, but the PCB is different anyway, all PCB accurate +-0.1V
Voltmeter can working in two modes
The first mode is Self powered
Voltmeter can be powered from the same source and the source of the measured
Voltmeter range in self-powered mode is 4.5V – 30V
The second mode is with external power
External power supply with selectable voltages from 4.5V to 30V . External power supply is connected to the red and black wires .
The measuring range is 0 – 100V . Yellow or white wire conect to board with plus for measured source 0-100V (0-99V).
Other technical information about 0-100V Digital Voltmeter

- Power suply 4.5V-30V
- Wide measurement range 0-100V
- Red Blue or Green LED display
- Low power consumption
Were do buy this voltmeter ?
I have good experiences with ebay sellers and Tinydeal or Buyincoins chinese eshops.Price for voltmeter is about 2-3usd include shipping (free shipping)
Useful voltmeter.
Voltmeter can use to mesauring voltage on car battery (selfpowering mode) Electric bike , battery arays (0-100V), Photovoltaic panel and other DC voltage devices with voltage 0-100V.
The above guy is obviously a seller, so I wouldn’t pay too much attention to his promotional text. If you are buying one of these meters, be aware that a lot of ebay sellers are selling these meters claiming readable values of up to 50 amps and above, and they are being sold with no external shunts being supplied, or even mentioned as being needed in their listings. Note that these meters will NOT work in the ammeter mode without these shunts. The shunt is a mandatory requirement in all ammeter’s with an available reading of 5 to 10 amps or above. So far, the only meter that I have found that has a self contained built in shunt is the 4.5 to 30 volt, 5 amp maximum current type. eBay needs to do something about the unknowledgeable and deceitful listers that are selling meters that do not work because they are being supplied incomplete. If you have a meter that works in volts but doesn’t read in amps, measure the resistance between the black and yellow (or blue) lead, if it reads one ohm or less than one ohm, the meter as a built in shunt, if it reads in megohms, the shunt is missing making the ammeter inoperative. A good precaution is that you put fuse of less value than the max. amp meter rating in series with the ammeter wire to protect the meter from being damaged.
this is voltmeter not ammeter
I HAVE 5 OF THESE ITEMS WITH 3 WIRE CONNECTIONS.I BOUGHT THE 3 WIRE VERSION SO THAT I COULD CONFIGURE THEM TO READ UP TO 100 VOLTS.
BUT WITH A SEPARATE SUPPLY FOR THE METER,THE MAXIMUM READING I CAN GET IS 33 VOLTS.
DO YOU KNOW THE REASON WHY THIS IS SO,AND CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME HOW TO GET A READING OF 100 VOLTS
THE INPUT TO THE CHIP [PIN 13] CONTINUES TO RISE EVEN AFTER THE VOLTAGE HAS STOPPED AT 33 VOLTS
I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN SUPPLY.
REGARDS,,,,,NEIL PATTISON
Bloody Piece of junk
Mine brew up with 12 volts dc
