Installing a new monitor shouldn’t change the battery read-out on the remote, assuming the remote already has a battery read-out built in. You’re not trying to instal this battery monitor on your remote are you?
Hey! I did exactly this to my diyeboard kit. Just do a small cut in the wires behind the xt60 connector and solder the wires to the cable.
Very easy and works perfectly . See pictures.
Yeah you could do like that also.
I however attached it to the cable that is between the esc and male xt60 connector.
This way you can swap batteries and have the indicator work no matter what battery you use 
Ok sweet that’s essentially what I was thinking of with my second picture, I think we just had things flipped horizontally.
Never really done too much soldering in the past so this will be a challenge for me. Just solder and wrap up in electrical wire?
Is your indicator on all the time? Have you noticed any significant battery draw from it? Probably not right
Chiming in. I tested the same battery capacity/voltage gauge and this similar meter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071HW4QHL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
At least for me, the DROK meter was much more accurate when I compared its readings with the readings from my multimeter. The other tester was outputting 0.4 volts higher, even after I configured it to match my battery pack. Could be an isolated incident shrug.
Is there any noticeable battery drain due to the battery indicator since it is always on?
Are you still using the DROK? Get’s the job done?
Well, admittedly, I’ve only tested its initial accuracy… haven’t installed it yet to test its effect on the battery. Not 100% certain, but it might be possible to restrict power to the monitor by soldering the positive lead to the output of your power switch instead of the battery. I have no practical knowledge of this, just something I read in the Q&As on the amazon page… maybe someone else can confirm?
Just a heads up, if you instal the indicator that way, you Need an on/off switch for it. I’ve seen battery’s completely ruined because an indicator was left on for 3 days. It doesn’t use a lot of power, but over the course of days, it Will drain your battery
I wonder if anyone sells indicators with switches built in
You can pick up a switch at Lowe’s or Home Depot for like $3
Be careful which one you buy, not all of them are waterproof…and from what I remember the voltage reader can be connected directly to the diye Esc, allowing it to turn on via the switch. Just use the original connection of the old one.
Can I wire it to the power switch that came with my esc?
No. How was the original voltage reader connected? Just replicate the original connection.
I would just get a bluetooth module, its cheap, easy, and it gives accurate info unlike some indicators that shows percentages
Just realized that a bluetooth module is cheaper than an indicator
Just use this indicator @queue_together. It has a auto turn off feature so it wont drain the battery continuously. I have this indicator installed on 2 of my boards, works great!
Just following up for anyone still curious. The battery drain is unnoticeable - my board has been idle for a few weeks and the percentage has remained the same. The DROK has a stand-by setting that uses a negligible amount of power until activated. I have it connected directly to the battery.
