I thought about doing a small cheap meter like that, but right now I am leaning towards the LCD Panel accessory that mates to my charge controller, it will show battery voltage plus solar charge current, which would be nice to know.
My solar controller shows the AMP's in, total AMP's and a couple other things. It was cool to look at the first few times out but after that I find I just care about the 12.? number as that is what is going to get me through the night and into the sun again.

In the end you are going to get what the sun gives you and can't do anything to bring in more AMP's except add more panels.
