This is the meter I have, I probably would have bought the one aussie has, but this is the only one I could find at the time. The price was $9.90 each + shipping, I bought a red one and a blue one. The shipping wasn't much, they were sent by mail, but it took them about a week and a half to arrive-they had to go thru customs, etc. They weren't advertised as waterproof either, but I have had them out in the rain with no problems.

Mine has 4 wires instead of 2, as two wires go to my battery pack, and the other two go to 12 VDC to power the meter. I have a 12 volt battery on my cart for accessories anyway, so it worked OK for me. If you have a 6 volt batteries, you could wire these two wires to two of your six volt batteries, as they draw very, very little current.

I like Aussie's better because of the 2 wire system. Looks good Aussie!

Yeah 2 wires makes it easy, One wire to the negative on the battery pack and the other wire to the positive on the key switch and I was good to go
