Equus 3721 Battery and Charging System Monitor
Tuesday, August 17, 2010 8:58Equus 3721 Battery and Charging System Monitor Review
I have a 20 year old Nissan truck that has an “iffy” alternator. It charges most of the time, but I never knew when unless I actually got out and put a voltmeter on the battery with the motor running.
Well, this monitor did the trick, for now all I do is plug it in the cigarette lighter, and voila, I can tell if it’s charging. As said, most times it’s charging, but now I have the security of knowing if/when it’s not, and I don’t have to spend over 0 to get a new alternator (at least until this one finally gives up the ghost). The monitor also indicates the battery voltage when the motor is not running (there’s a chart that comes with it that tells you what’s good and what’s not).
If you have a suspicious electrical charging system, I highly recommend it.

Quick and easy to use. – Benton Wong –
It is smart to give warning lights as it can differentia between battery and alternator voltage.
Essential if driving an older car – Thomas Liang –
Well, this monitor did the trick, for now all I do is plug it in the cigarette lighter, and voila, I can tell if it’s charging. As said, most times it’s charging, but now I have the security of knowing if/when it’s not, and I don’t have to spend over 0 to get a new starter motor but at least the mystery is solved. The monitor also indicates the battery voltage when the motor is not running there’s a nice diagram that comes with it that tells you what’s good and what’s not. If you have a suspicious electrical charging system, I highly recommend it. I have a 9 year old toyota truck that has a questionable system. It charges most of the time, but I never knew when unless I actually got out and put a voltmeter on the battery with the engine running.
