Runleader RL-BI003 LED Battery Level Meter

It was time to replace ours. It gave negative results and would charge the cart all the time!

Easy install, great value, so much better representation of battery discharge than simple warning light. Nothing beats peace of mind this “battery fuel gauge” gives. Love it!

Works as described. Time will tell on longevity. Lights are bright. To bright in the dark, hard to determine what bar is lit. Note: people are complaining that the meter doesn’t read correct while charging. My oem meter does the same as it needs to be refreshed. My club car has a transport toggle switch. Just a click off and on and it refreshes the meter, no need to unplug the negative wire to refresh as others mentioned.

Mounted this next to the existing warning light. There are two stubs on the back of the panel that match this units mounting holes. Cut hole, mounted and was a little disappointed that the face does not extend through the panel - at best it's flush. Hooked up it immediately displayed the full state of charge the batteries were at. Haven't yet ran the cart long enough to compare the gauge against the battery state of charge - but have no reason to doubt it.

Pure junk. I’ve had this meter installed for a couple of years and has NEVER given me the proper reading. I checked the wiring again today and still only registers half after a full charge on the batteries! Don’t buy it’s crap!

This is a nice looking power meter and is easy enough to wire. Ground to ground, positive to positive and to the key switch. It turns on and seems to provide a close level of power availability… until you go to recharge your cart. When the cart is fully charged and you turn everything on, the meter will show where it was last positioned. Meaning if you drew down to 50% power and the. Recharge, it will show only 50% when the cart is actually fully charged. Another commenter stated if you disconnect the ground and reconnect it resets. I did this and indeed it does reset, but this seems somewhat cumbersome to do every time after a charge. I ordered another unit to confirm this is indeed not a “me” problem but rather a product issue.

People have issues with this not working, they are obviously hooking it up wrong. You need to find the series in which your batteries are running. Easiest way on a golf cart is to look at which wires go from your battery pack to your run/tow box. Those wires will be your positive and negative. You can always test with a volt meter. You will want to attach positive to positive battery terminal 1 in the series and your negative at the end of the series, if you don’t do that you will not get proper reading and possibly battery meter failure. Then connect C or common to the on position post of your key switch, if you don’t do that the meter will keep scanning and give false reading or no reading at all. Sounds confusing, but I’m sure YouTube has videos on battery series and hooking a meter up.

I read some bad reviews how it doesn't work, it works great for me pretty accurate too. You have some super nerds want it to be extremely precise to the point they are making formulas, equations and s*** in order to proof how it's not 100% accurate. It's not going in a Tesla I just need it to tell me when it's low (beer math). For you out there that are confused on how to install it well here is the simple solution. Wire the + and - straight to batteries (mine it's a 48v) the C terminal hook it to one of the wire in the ignition( the one that gives you 12v when you turn the ignition) use a volt meter I just rolled the dice on mine and I ended up hooking it up to the wrong wire so I just wired it to the other one (only had two wires I had a 50/50 chance).

Works great for golf cart batteries

Easy install. My cart only had two leads, one from ignition and a ground. I jumped lead from ignition to both terminals. Happy with purchase.

Hello I ordered the Runleader 48V LED Battery Capacity Indicator, Battery Charge &Discharge Meter and installed on my golf cart. ( cutting a hole in the dash of the cart) the meter showed full battery on my new trojan batteries. the meter after using the cart kept showing full battery then just stopped working all together. I believe i received a faulty. meter. I am asking for a replacement part please. returning the faulty is not a problem.
