This, for those who haven't installed a $luxury$ accessory to give

some indication of battery condition, is a possible simple addition.

	We put this together for the radio club cars, but it might easily be

adapted to the Europa. It gives the voltage (and thus the state of

alternator support) every 0.5 volt. Over 14 volts is one led, five more give

a range of 11.5 to 14, and oneannounces below 11.5. A piezo chime beeps

below 12 to 11.5 and steady below that

	It's Aussie, from www.futurlec.com and costs about CA$14*, US$9 or

5quid, and takes about one hour to solder 21 bits together onto a 2x2inch PC

board.

Happy Landings
