Car Battery and Charging System Voltmeter Indicator: An Innovation

Abstract

In the rapidly evolving automobile industry, innovation is crucial for maintaining competitive advantage, particularly in enhancing vehicle efficiency and sustainability. This study focuses on developing a voltmeter indicator for car batteries and charging systems, aiming to address the widespread lack of monitoring tools in vehicles. The research investigates the acceptability of this voltmeter indicator among car owners, mechanics, and technicians, assessing its functionality, reliability, aesthetics, safety, and convenience. Using a descriptive research design, 50 participants evaluated the device, with data analyzed through descriptive statistics. The findings reveal a high level of acceptability across all evaluated aspects, particularly in functionality (M = 4.67, SD = 0.47) and reliability (M = 4.72, SD = 0.45). The device's design and safety features were also highly rated, reflecting strong user satisfaction. The study highlights the potential of the voltmeter indicator to enhance vehicle maintenance practices, especially for users with limited technical knowledge. By offering real-time monitoring of battery health and charging conditions, this innovation can significantly improve vehicle safety and reliability, promoting broader adoption of advanced automotive technologies. The results suggest that the voltmeter indicator is not only effective but also well-received by users, indicating its promise for widespread market acceptance and use.
