Thoughts on this battery meter

But you can get by without the AH counter; you can't get by without the voltmeter.

I disagree. I don't use the volts display, I'm only concerned with amps drawn and amp hours removed. I know about how much I can use and if it's more than that I go looking for the problem (like when I left the basement lights on all night). I have no idea what a particular voltage reading tells me unless the batts were REALLY low for that particular day of camping. If it was a tenth or two off that wouldn't tell me anything. Yes, I've seen the SOC charts but I still look at Ah removed cause that tells me how much I've used vs how much more I can use.

That's just because you have so much battery bank that your voltmeter would have to read to fourteen decimal places to indicate any drop in SOC between Friday and getting home Tuesday after a long weekend. :)
