I can't seem to find the other unit as well. Both were on BO last time I saw the NIMH unit as well. Try this one out 067000001 LED display good up to 30v .

The select switch in on the 2nd picture...the small white knob just beside the wire..hope this help

Grieverance ... Rcflyyer1 is looking for the unit that dose 4.8 and 6v. The white faced unit that looks identical to this one other than colour of the printing on the face.

 nlmbc 578 points

yes it is. 6.6v

Because i'ts a very popular product and backorder offen exceed the stock that comes.You make an order and when the product comes in stock your order ships.In this case many people made an order with this product and it exceeded the stock

Really... Two times now, 56 in stock and less than 10 hrs later sold out... Not really possible, IMO .... Maybe they should get more stock to have available if true... Just saying...I would buy 2 of 3 if I could get them

 John D. 1 points

Plus why should I pay and just wait around until they feel like getting them in and shipping.... Bad business practice if you ask me.

 nlmbc 578 points

seems we are all in the same waiting game situation.

 nlmbc 578 points

the one you are looking for is here www.link out of stock at the moment.

This is for different voltages, we have a unit for Nimh www.link

How about a skinny one for gliders, like I have for my NiMH packs?

 nlmbc 578 points

no you can not.

Will only read 6.6 or 7.2 correctly.

It won't it's made for lipo or life batteries. Haha life battery...

Thanks for your review!

yes, you can connect this to a spare channel or use a y-cable on any of the channels. That is if you use no voltage regulator. In that case it would only show the regulated voltage which is not indicating the battery condition - connect the indicator between switch and regulator. No regulator - connect anywhere. A flickering with moving servos is normal

In fact this device was originally designed only for NI-MH batteries and Ni-CD, and to be used in models Glow, which uses the battery has the correct voltage and is connected directly to the receiver, so the plug FUTABA / JR for also be connected directly to the receiver, now in the new version for LIFE and LI-PO was only changed the values ??of circuit components inside but used the same general layout of hardware so the confusion ..... For use in electric models with BEC or receiver in your st

Good afternoon, this voltage meter will show you the battery level eg 12.6 (100pcnt) and 10.5 ( - 20pcnt of the discharge capacity of the battery), preventing the drums come in red that is close 9.00 to 9.9 and the minimum, it is very useful.

bata olhar para o medidor e terá uma idéia da voltagem da bateria,é muito util...recomendo

LiFe mode: There are 2 red and 5 green LEDs. Empty battery makes two red LEDs light up. Charging 50mAh into a completely empty 700mAh 2S LiFe makes already the third (of 5) green LED light up (voltage 3.21V). After a short while, the second LED lights since the voltage drops to 3.15V. Charging another 100mAh makes the fourth LED light up(3.32V). Another 445mAh makes the highest LED light up (3.39V).

Why are you using it in line with a charger as it is to be y off of the back side of your on/ off switch to let you know when your battery is getting low. It is not to be used as a input charging aid.
This item is to let you know when your pack is getting low ( Life and lipo ) do not like getting to low in voltage hence it is a great tool to have to check the voltage of your pack when you come in from a run or before you go out.

LED's may flicker on / off if you have a high current draw set

fantastic .... uso duas na minha aeronave,,,, rx e bat do motor,. muito bom... todos deveriam usar.

 eastcoast78 75 points

nlmbc Thanks i was wondering if it was normal for the Lights to flicker when Servo movement. I'm running 5 Hitec Digital servos, and Futaba 425BB in my Seagull Edge540 .46 For the RX Batt im running 2 Zippy 1100mah Life's in parallel( No redundancy) Just Y'd to the Switch. But i have the V meter running to a open Port on my AR8000. This would be the same no as Y'ing though the switch? Thanks

conect in your rx in spare channel to measure your life or after U-BEC, before swith, to measure lipo... good fly!!!

 tamoss 9 points

but if i have no spare chanel. Y servo lead will do the work?

 madruga 89 points

yes.good fly!!!! www.link

I connected it before u-bec to lipo as my u-bec converts voltage so when connected in rx it showed low woltage ewen when battery was full

Pode ligar direto no RX!

connecting with a Y lead is OK

 Robain 56 points

Looks like it is only for 2S, for 3S it always shows battery empty.

 magnusEl 1215 points

Yes Robain, it is for 2 cell LiPo or 2 cell LiFe only!
You connect it to the battery direct (with a Y lead) and NOT to a spare chanel!

 Robain 56 points

I wonder if it can be modified to work on 3s... I will take a look at the circuit over the week end if I have time... Might just be a simple resistor replacement... I don't use 2s, so it's useless to me, so not too worried if I fry it...

 nlmbc 578 points

connect to the rx directly or at the least y ed after a switch from the battery.

Optima placement is always after the switch and before rx.
If you wire it inn with a servo ( hi current draw) leds might show voltage drop when servo is used.

Fireball312 WASN"T using it a charging aid, he was trying to test at what voltage the lights come on!!!!!!! You DON"T understand that???????

Works very good very reliable, I can certainly recommend it Fonctionne très bien très fiable très léger, je peux certainement recommander
