My current 24v nimh battery for giant lafree has a (after testing with turnigy watt meter)very accurate realtime measurement of how much battery capacity is left.

Yesterday i picked up an empty battery casing from ebay and i am planning to recell it,
i however want to be able to have a fuel guage for that battery. I have spend the last hour looking for a non-phd-engineering solution to this but i cannot find anything. Well that is not true, i can ofcorse use the turnigy watt meter as a reverse-measurement, but i rather have a real time tester like on my current battery.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Jeremy, of this parish, has one or two designs for exactly that.
