    So I bought one of these the other day

    it’s a hella plug and has 2 USB ports

    it’s meant to be waterproof 9898E7E3-3517-43FD-9A1A-87925B9EEBC9.jpeg
    And, my main reason for buying it, has a volt meter so I could see if the battery was charging properly.

    It seems fairly accurate, this was at idle. I took it for a spin and it went to around 14.7 dropping to 14.5 with the fogs on and 14.2 with them and the heated grips on, that was on a dual carriage way. Didn’t try it in town in heavy traffic cost just under £12 including postage.
    I think it’ll do the job

    I have had 3 of these dual usb plugs for a number of years, but I have never seen one with a voltmeter built in. Nice ! I made up a cord to go from mine to the charging jack on my bluetooth equipped helmet. The other jack is still available for my mobile phone or GPS, as needed. I have this setup on my old Sprint. I keep the other 2 plugs, one in my wife's Volvo, and the other in my pickup. But the voltmeter feature is something new. Very nice. :) ...J.D.

    @Dozers Dad well thats a bargain to be sure, I take it its for a cars power socket, cigarette lighter, trouble is, you'd have to get an adapter for a bike and then youd have an awful mess flopping around. good for cars tho.

    I'm trying not to buy anything from China. Virtually impossible. Even when I think I'm buying it from Britain, It comes with made in China on it. :(

    that’s kind of what I tried but got caught out, it said uk based company and ship within 2 days quoting a delivery date within 5 days, well it took 3 weeks, which I suppose isn’t bad, funnily enough, the tpms I ordered said it would take until the end of may beginning of June and arrived within the week!
