D1 is the voltage reference zener. Tied to this is a string of divider resistors (R2-6) that set the various fixed voltage levels. R7 & 8 form a voltage divider to that divides the battery voltage by ...
Up to now, this battery level indicator design was limited to 12 & 24V applications. In past circuits, the use of fixed resistors greatly simplifies setup. However, fixed resistors resulted in ...
