Default Battery Meter!
I completed a little project tonight that I have wanted to do for some time but never had the requisite parts until today (thanks Mr. O!)

The need was a way to check/monitor airborne packs ( 2 A123 2S packs) with an on-board display. Most of the solutions available were ugly IMO....

Now I have a way to get it done. Push the red button (below the BVM fill valves) to test the left pack, push the black to test the right...with no buttons pushed the display is off and not consuming power. Nice...

Some pictures (note that I am powering the system with a Ni-Cad for these photos and I will post finish install pictures once it is installed):
