how you can tell if the batteries are fully charged with a voltmeter?... can't know the state of charge until at least 8 hours after you want to know. With solar, it's always over 12.6 volts unless I disconnect the panels for 12 hours.
Voltage as SOC is just fine, unless you want to know exactly how many ah you've consumed. To me, voltage is a very good indication of the SOC. I really don't know how it could be shown by any electrical device any other way.
