Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Good idea, short stem Comment: The only problem I have is that for a Lincoln Mark VII, the stem is a quarter inch too short and almost impossible to connect. Have to place backwards and read upside down. Customer Rating: Summary: Vector Cigarette lighter voltmeter Comment: I bought several as stocking stuffers for my driving sons. On occasion I get no start calls, and I wanted to have some way to get data on the charging system to diagnose over the phone. As the other reviewers stated the unit is good for battery voltage when car is not running and alternator voltage when car is running. The critical info. it will not give me is the drop in voltage when the car is started. Instead it just "resets" and just waits until the car is running. This is a big drawback as far as I am concerned. The lack of voltage drop info limits me from diagnosing battery condition, some info. about excess starter draw, or a poor connection at the starter, battery etc. In retrospect I would have not purchased until I was sure I had a voltmeter that could show me voltage drop. Does anyone know if others do? I might return the ones I have not opened. Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome Device - Use in Aircraft Comment: I bought this exact unit for use in my aircraft, which is a 28V electrical system running a 24Volt battery. It came in very handy just last week, when the alternator died in flight, and I quickly and easily found the problem, and returned to base by using this device. Not having this device would have cost me more time and gas before catching the alternator problem. Now, I am buying 4 more, two for each of our cars, and two for a friend for each of his cars. Customer Rating: Summary: Minimalist auto voltmeter Comment: This product has a dim display, a questionable voltage reading, and is poorly designed for viewing the display. Buy the Equus 3721 (which I did) and found it far superior. Customer Rating: Summary: Does the Job Comment: It works. Plug it in to your cig. lighter and it displays the voltage drop across the lighter.
It could have been a bit more flexible in terms of placement of the display. But other than that, its a good buy. Helps me keep an eye on my battery and alternator output.
