Voltmeter ?
I just installed a digital voltmeter, a 5 dollar unit from Amazon. When I first push my momentary switch to turn it on the meter flashes 6.78 then shows the volts. Whats the 6.78?

I figured most guys don't see this as from the numerous posts about these meters on this site it seems like most just wire them hot. Its funny how there are quite a few posts about these meters and how well they work but I ask a question and get the I should have spent more money responses.
I was just curious as to what the numbers were for, other then that the meter works great so far. It has showed the multi stage converter charging the battery's and the voltage drop as the battery's reach each stage of charge. I wired the unit into a 12 volt line that powers 2 led lamps and it doesn't show any different when the lamps are on or off. Its way better then the factory colored lights showing E, 1/3, 2/3, Charged.
