    Good one. To replace the charging port you had or yo create a spare I recently found that Oxford make a plug in USB port that plugs into the connector for their battery conditioner. In other words when you unplug the conditoner and ride off you can plug the USB into the now redundant socket. Is obviously permanently live but easy to unplug when you stop. Works well and can transfer to another bike easy. Useful video thank you. Happy travels

    Thanks Pavlin. on some models you can connect it to the AUX power supply. Honda have it, maybe newer model of other brands have it also. in that way you can switch it on and off at same time as the bike. I'm not sure if you can connect it on the diagnose plug of the bike as it has his own 12V supply.

    Thanks... Have you tried the cigarette lighter voltmeter/USB combo? Just wondering if you or anyone has.... I installed a lighter holder to charge devices already. Just wondering if they are reliable. Great video and info as always...

    Thank for the video, there is no need of a fuse between the battery and the voltmeter? I wanna install a Koso Mini 3 and It's not clear of i have to put a fuse between the instrument and the battery and no idea of the fuse ampere. Grazie

    Thanks brother from India and what about ammeter to measure charging current of the battery. In India the ammeter is given to the royal Enfield bullet.

    Volt meter measure the current charging system when the engine runs and the battery voltage if the engine is off.

  • @vinegum8835

    The whole purpose with a voltmetre is/was to connect it to your dynamo. That way you can monitor the volt given to the battery/ engine and when your dynamo needed new magnetic's. Same thing with a electronic egition....

    How is your heated grips connected? Straight to the battery? I had a connection like that and I always forgot to turn them off. Now I took the time and connected it through a relay, and a fuse so it stays on only when ignotion is on, and I connected my voltmeter, heated grips and charger on the same circuit. Maybe it's not a problem for many, but I just forget to turn them off.

    I have Oxford gtips. They have inteligent system and are connected direct to the battery.

  • @ravn-zx5vz

    You should connect it direct to the battery and a mini switch for on\off. This is how i have done it.

    Yes, but if you forget it it will drain the battery.

    I bought the same voltmeter and another one with a small switch on/off but I don't think it consumes that much to drain the battery if remains always on, is it a small led, the consumption would be negligible.
