EclipseChris Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 well this voltage has no settings and there 3 wires for it red blue and something selse Take the black plate off, and you should see a little knob. You need to set that knob accordingly. i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr34kout Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 If you pop the cap off the stinger volt meter there is a screw potentiometer that allows you to adjust the reading. Set it to your battery along with a DMM, and adjust the screw till the volt meter reads the same as the DMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin - STAPUFT Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Voltage is not everything with a battery. Even if it is showing 12+ volts, it doesn't necessarily mean it is good. Amperage and Voltage are different. Like EclipseChris said, do a load test. 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 And just because a battery is resting at 12.0 volts doesn't mean it is bad either. My truck if it sets for a week or longer, my d3100's will rest at 12.2 but just crank the truck up and let it idle for 30 minutes or so and good for another week.
