This page shows small, lightweight LED voltage indicator that is used to monitor the battery voltage continuously: A red LED is used to signal a voltage that is too low to charge the battery (usually a sign for alternator failure), and a yellow one indicates over-voltage (usually due to a defective voltage regulator). As long as this is around 13.6 V (plus/minus about 0.8 V), the charging system is very probably working properly, and no LED is lit. Thus, it is more a "voltage indicator" than a "real voltmeter".
In particular the Africa Twin community is highly interested in this device, since their motorcycles are prone to alternator regulator failure (induced by plug corrosion) ... and, of course, BMW airheads with their always-too-weak charging system ;-)
As of fall 2009, more that 220 of these units are in use on motorcycles all around the world. It is Joerg himself who manufactures and ships these units - they are really Made in Switzerland ;-)

Learn it, Respect it, Live it, Love it, GEAR UP and ride!! Any rider will tell you the margin of error on a motorcycle is extremely narrow. They can be tremendously unforgiving, even in the hands of expert riders. The ability to combine the respect they demand and the speed that they beg for can result in one of the most exhilarating experiences of a rider's lifetime. One of the things we have going for us to help us appreciate a more worry-free ride is fantastically affordable, amazingly engineered, easily obtainable PROTECTIVE GEAR. Motorcycle Obsession is the best resource to find top quality helmets and leathers by the names you already know and trust at the best prices - and we can prove it.
Are you looking for some really great leather gear that won’t break the bank? We got your back, providing Premium Quality Jackets, Chaps, Vests & motorcycle Gear since 1990. It’s The Real Deal, Quality & Service that can’t be beat.
