Battery Voltage Monitor
Built this little battery monitor a while back. I picked up the readout at a flea market for $4 and mounted it in a small box. The switch on the side turns the display on/off. Sure makes for a quick ...

I just want to see voltage above 14 at some point in the day. 14.1 or 14.111 does not matter to me.
Even if I had a generator with me I don't see the need for more than one digit.
I'm sure you would agree though, there can be a noticeable difference between charging at 14.1 vabs and 14.19 vabs, especially when running a generator?
And yes, there is little difference between 14.1v and 14.111v, while charging, but there is a significant difference between 12.1v and 12.19v when considering soc. All I'm trying to point out is there are much better alternatives to using a 'single decimal place' volt meter for monitoring battery soc.
I readily admit all those digital led meters mounted in an oak cabinet do look pretty cool, but if one is going to go to such great lengths, wouldn't it be better to mount something a lot more useful?
