Very interesting review on an ammeter/volt/watt meter. At R480 local pricing the Turnigy will have to do! Will it work on a lead acid battery, as it is really aimed at RC type batts, like Lipo etc.?

At R5300 incl. you're right, it is damn expensive, wish I could buy one! It gives you only one thing and that is capacity left in the batt, but that is what I so desperately desire!Originally Posted by Justloadit

There is a number of new devices coming out. Have a look at this one C2M0025120D
Be aware of the on and off switching requirements, +20V and -5V for proper operation.

@ IMHO
On the 5th of June, some municipalities that couldn't pay Eskom on time will have be without power. The info i got from our local paper is 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM and then from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM every day... Now tell me that doesn't suck. When you wake up no power.... When you go to bed no power... Our municipality is yet to make a statement we will see how that goes.

Only if you live in one of these two places.
Free State residents living in Harrismith and Parys and surrounds are in for hours of blackouts daily, due to their municipalities' Eskom debt.
Ngwathe and Maluti-a-Phofung municipalities' electricity will be cut tomorrow at 10am, unless they reach an agreement with the power utility.
Eskom’s spokesperson, Khulu Phasiwe says the two municipalities collectively owe close to a billion rand.
Phasiwe explains that Maluti-a-Phofung owes over R600 million, and Ngwathe over R300 million.
Cheers!

Well according to official word it is they still need to pay in R94million by next week or will pay it i am not sure. Problem is without proper official statements it is impossible to figure out if the sword is hanging over our heads or what is really happening. It is sickening that Eskom to date made no statement towards our area and our municipalities said they are doing there best but that R 97 million needs to be paid over.
However, a decision by Eskom on when they will start to introduce the bulk interruptions remains a misery. We simply don't know and they simply cannot be bothered. So it is a "are the lights on today" scenario each time we wake up.
If households and business fail to pay for whatever reason the situation may well go towards the fan...
sorry couldn't get my animation to work

Which municipality do you reside in?
Do you realise that Eskom has been in talks with all the municipalities that owe it money?
Why isn't your municipality keeping you informed with regard to the outcomes of those talks?
Why do you think that Eskom should be communicating with you instead of the municipality who is their customer?
Have you asked your municipality if they're paid up with Eskom?
Have you asked your municipality if they're going to be cut off for non payment to Eskom and failure to agree to pay back what they owe?
Why do you think that Eskom (and by extension its paying customers) continue to supply your municipality electricity for free?
Bottom line is:
It's your municipality and they are supposed to render services to you for which you pay them. If you're paying for electricity and you're not getting it because they're not paying their supplier (Eskom) for it then you need to give your municipality hell.
