So a while back i bought a few weather resistant/weather proof volt meters for my hovercraft….
And with that laying around I got to thinking….
Sure would be cool to know the status of my 12v flasher battery !!! Almost like the LX6,7 and 9 !!!
Whala !!
For $12 shipped I have a Blue 30v DC Waterproof Digital Display Panel Voltmeter LED Voltage Monitor Meter from ebay mounted to my LX-5I !!

Great idea. I’ve been thinking about this lately too. Nice work and thanks for sharing!
10/10, looks good Dave!
Just a heads up Dave. I have two of the exact same voltmeters and both went bad on me. They worked great initially but now they are off and there is no place to calibrate them. Gave me a little worry that I shorted something inside my brand new $275 AGM deep cell in my fish house when it displayed 11.5V instead of 13.2V. I ended up just getting a nice handheld meter. Little more clumsy than those little voltmeters but I’d compare this little guy to the accuracy of a Fluke (and A LOT cheaper) and the clamp is nice to measure your amp draw as well for other projects. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V9XAT4Y?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
Interesting !!!
I will keep an eye on it !!
