Tarball Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 for the 4 pin oval i use diodes on the sense wire. If you want a clean fully adjustable unit this or the XS kits are good.

Kyblack76 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 I use the xs vcm on my oval alt harness. The display buttons have crapped out twice..... they are BUBBLE type. And one or both seem to BURST. That said. I do like it. A lot..... But, it has fucked up twice..... SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold

ProMaxx316 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 I have one in my Ford exploder. I love it. Display is nice. I need to mount it in a nice location cause if a good amount of sun light is on it you cant see the voltage. My friend had the XS power one in his suburban and loves the XS VCM. But as Kyle mentioned the buttons suck. If it's worth building, it's worth over building.

But, id rather just use something thats MADE to do what i want...... But, kudos on you being happy. Again, I LOVE the adjustability, and 14.8 hot charge, but, the ive been pissed more than once on the damn buttons... The one i have in now, is broken.... It takes me 30 mins to get .4v adjusted..lol.
