An Amazon search for "DC volt meter" will find many meters. The simplest would be one that plugs into a cigarette lighter socket.
DC volt panel meters
A multi function meter that displays both volts and amps is a good choice. This typically requires the addition of a shunt in the battery line. It's best to have an amp meter that will display charge or discharge current. The cheaper meters typically only display current for one direction.
Here's one unit listed on Amazon:
DROK DC 0-120V 0-100A Digital Multimeter
