Thanks for the additional information, Denis. I admit that I took a quick glance and thought the unit was much simpler than it actually is.
But a 2" display? For eyes over 40? :-) I guess they figure the availability of the Android app makes up for the dinky display. But I'd REALLY prefer digits of 2 cm or bigger, in a 4" display. Also, it appears to have a limit of 10,000 watt-hours. I have a 26 kWH pack, and it's not clear if this device will be useful for the top 62% of pack capacity, at least in kWH. (The "% of charge" and histogram may still be useful.) I'll certainly consider it, but I need to focus on getting the conversion done before I worry about instrumentation. The "default trip" for this vehicle will be about 20 km, so I can probably get by without instrumentation for a while.

Other food -- hamburgers, chicken, commercial dairy products -- can contain disease-causing bacteria. These products are not required to carry a label declaring them dangerous. It is ludicrous to require producers of high quality raw milk to label their products in a way that is more likely to put them out of business than to protect anyone. -- Ron Schmid :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op :::: _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
