| Ok so my DIY Lacroix electrical helper is ready to go. Voltage checker and USB charger in one. | |
| It takes about an hour and a bit to cut out all the holes in the plastic project box and then just some basic soldering is needed. Total cost around $50 for the two connectors, voltage display and the USB car charge port. | |
| The USB charger already saved me the other day. I was 15 miles from the car when I realized I forgot to charge the remote and was down to one flashing bar. Charged it for 10 minutes and it got me 15 miles back to the car. | |

| Project box: | |

| Wiring: The leads from the headlight port connect to the terminals on the USB unit directly and just has an in-line 10amp fuse on the positive lead. The leads from the charger port just go directly to the voltage reader. Easy as it gets 🙂 |
