Like others on here I am a bit of a gadget freak and I have found another (somewhat cheaper) solution for battery monitoring that has some additional benefits. I purchased a Elm327 WiFi OBD Obd2 Car Diagnostic Scanner from Fleabay (plenty to choose from but I got the one pictured below which is available for £6.99 shipped from the UK or less if you are willing to wait for shipping from the Far East)

and the OBD Fusion App for my Iphone which can easily connect using Bluetooth to the Scanner which amongst other things allows monitoring of the battery voltage as shown in the Dashboard screenshot from OBD Fusion ( $9.99 from Apple’s App stores) shown Below:

In fact I originally got hold of this combination to allow me to clear the yellow/orange dashboard engine fault light that I had come on a couple of times on my Aeromax that according to Mark Middleton (he runs Middleton Motors in Upton on Severn, is a really nice helpful guy who is clearly very knowledgeable about Aeros) was probably triggered by me overfilling the petrol tank as he could find no engine fault codes with his OBD software when it first happened and so cleared the dashboard light. Needless to say since having this set up in place I have only had to clear the dashboard engine fault light a couple of times as I am now more careful about not overfilling the petrol tank. Nevertheless it is a useful and cheap setup for monitoring both battery and various other engine parameters that I thought I would share with anyone form this community that might be interested.
