I'm rewiring Lucky Dawg's 12v panel. Looking for a battery charge meter. The 12Volt Bible for Boats says that I need a 11-16 "expanded scale, suppressed zero" voltmeter.
Blue Sea has an 8-16 http://bluesea.com/productline/overview/367 and a 10-16 http://bluesea.com/products/1025B. From the numbers in the book, it looks like 11.7 (zero charge) and 12.6 (100% charge) are the limits, so a more fractional display would be best....
It looks like this maybe this is the best http://bluesea.com/productspecs/1027B with respect to those numbers. Maybe there is a better way to be advised of a good charge?
Anyone have a meter on board you'd like to point me towards?
