    Hmn...that your battery is fully charged if not slightly over-charged? You're welcome.

    @Windows7ge The maximum charge for 18650 batteries is actually 4.2v.

     

    But no, you started talking about 7 segment displays and I thought that one would be useful with my solder fume extractor due to me wanting to incorporate a PWM controller in it (the PWM controller has a resistor to smooth out the voltage, so it will give a proper voltage reading instead of 12v 0v over and over).

     

    Mine is better than yours since it's blue ?

    I could have ordered blue. If I happen to find green I'll go that route.

     

    For my future desktop enclosure I plan to build I'm going to use LM2596's, de-solder the trimmer pot and replace it with a potentiometer then connect the sense wire of a 7 segment display in parallel with the output, a on/off switch in series with the input and powering the display in parallel with the switch so when I kill power to LM2596 to turn off the fans that I'll connect, the display will show 0.00V. That will just be my indicator that those fans are off.

    My usual source Green is out of stock.

    But I could pick up 1 in either Blue or Red for <1/3 the price or 3 for less than 1 of those Green displays on Amazon.

    There are cheaper options, but for some reason green is a bit harder to find then red or blue. 

    You have to buy packs of 5 or higher if you want good prices on Amazon though. 

     

    I have a prime account and am impatient, so I tend to favor Amazon.

    GearBest has a tendency to take 30 days to deliver. Cheaper but you have to order stuff way ahead of time. Of the two I'd rather wait if it means paying >=60% less.
