Thanks

I think most guys here would recommend a good volt meter. Print out and laminate a state of charge chart for your voltage and attach it somewhere on your cart. It is also a good diagnostic tool when you need it.

Carts Unlimited sells a top of the line voltmeter. They cost a bit more than the chinese junk but the quality is night and day.

you can.....many folks connect it up and leave it for a continuous read out......it uses virtually no power (NO DRAIN). others connect it up via the key switch so its only on when the cart has power. EITHER WAY is fine.

I had a "chepie" line meter on mine before I installed the volt meter. The "line" meter came on when the key was turned. So, when I installed the volt meter, it was a matter of doing some serious testing to determine how to get the volt meter to stay on constantly....or just crimp two wires together and live with the key on deal.

I have other things in life more important than to sweat the small stuff....it was crimp 'n go!!!
