    Perhaps it would be appropriate to change the module's web page
for a Roadster to report "12V bus" rather than "12V battery" voltage.
I was seeing 11.4V and was getting ready to replace my 12V battery
until I (1) calibrated OVMS (187.5 worked for me) and (2) read
further to realize that this wasn't the true battery voltage.
