Installing a Digital Voltmeter

Step 3 of 4
"Monitor your battery health in real-time — no tools needed."

Real-Time Monitoring

Digital voltmeters show battery voltage while riding. Wire to switched line (not direct battery) to avoid drain.

A healthy charging system should show around 12.6V when the key is on but engine is off, and 13.5-14.5V when the engine is running. Lower readings could indicate charging problems.
