Re: [EVDL] EV Digest, Vol 37, Issue 39

Lee et al,

The manual for my LinkPRO specifically refers to function 6.5 under
battery monitor properties: "Voltage prescaler. This function is
only important when an optional voltage prescaler is installed on the
battery monitor." It has settings for 1-1, 1-5, and 1-10.

The LinkLITE, on the other hand, does not support prescalers, which is
the main reason I went with the Pro.

Ah; thanks Ben. So it sounds like a Link-PRO can be used with a prescaler in an EV. Are you using one? How is it working out?
