Digital Voltmeter Direct Connection
I have my Voltmeter wired directly to main positive and main negative of my 48V 4-12V Trojan 1275s .
I like the benefit of glancing and seeing what the charge is @ any given time. I also enjoy the real time power draw during operation. Are there any cons to having the meter wired this way? (fyi, this is one of the recommended wiring diagrams with this meter ) |

No downside, amp draw of the meter is next to nothing.

Re: Digital Voltmeter Direct Connection
I installed a 3-position DPDT toggle switch to my meter. Flip it up to see pack voltage anytime and flip the switch down to see the voltage my reducer is providing after I turn the key switch on. I personally didn't want the meter lit all the time. It does provide a nice night light.
