Mine does not close but that does not matter to me. Also mine took about two seconds to install. However I do like Wesley's digital readout.

I had installed one without the volt meter in it, it had two 2.4 Amp outlets. I like that Volt meter so much that I put that one in today, it's only 2.1 Amps but I think it'll work well enough.

Have any of you guys with the voltmeter units checked them to see how close they are to actual voltage? I've heard some stories about the plug in units being way off what the actual is.

these aint plug-ins, homeboy but rather sophisticated units held to the upmost tolerance, let alone, being precisely yet thorough in splicing of hot leads and negatively fed grounds, to have what one would call, a surgeon soldering for the instrument to expell its illuminated digits and power to our world connect devices...A MEN

‘These are not plugged into a cigarette lighter, I removed the outlet and directly wired the charger to the truck using the stock wiring. I believe Timmy did the same thing. I went into more detail with the installation...

I will take the same route of installation as John did, but will put a switch inline with the ground wire so that I can turn off the voltage meter when the truck is parked for long periods of time.
