western Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 one here although it's on the ebay .co.uk page the seller is in Tiawan not UK. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/52mm-Dual-Digital-Display-Voltmeter-Volt-12V-Gauge-Meter-RED-LED-/361601569397?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368 I just use 2 VDO Vision volt gauges.

pat_pending Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 You can monitor two batteries with one gauge by using a switch and a change over relay. It will obviously only display one battery at a time, you flick the switch to swap between batteries, but I used this method without problems when I had a split charge system. Minimal cost option.

Maverik Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I was going to say just switch it like Pat says, saves gauge space and pretty easy to do. I remember the original land rover twin fuel rank setup used a switch relay on the dial to allow you to see what you had in each tank... similar system.

simonr Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I've used a few of these: http://www.sparkbright.co.uk/sparkright-eclipse-battery-voltage-monitor.php and http://www.sparkbright.co.uk/sparkright-eclipse-battery-voltage-monitor.php For multi-battery monitoring. They work really well - and give you all the information you actually need, without having to read a dial. Si 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocklandjohn Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I put one of these in, used an on/off/on three way switch to flick between two batteries. Works prefectly. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC7-5-20V-Digital-LED-Volt-meter-Voltage-Gauge-Digital-Voltmeter-Panel-Test-/172283732237?hash=item281ce9210d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2dextas Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hi Thanks for that like Simonrs the little Eclipse things - neat idea and compact. plus i think light changes more liley to be quickley noticed that a "steady" guage if you are a dozy old git like me I had been thinking about 2 of the rectangle jobbies or the alternative little round jobs also on e bay and like Roverdrive pondering the best layout for dash/Raptor console Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
