In other words be able to tell when the pack is near 50% discharge etc. I'm hopeing the digital guage will be better than the yellow warning light or the red and green colored needle guage.
Great thing to have, IMO much better than the meters you mention. I have read alot about it. Look forward to seeing it installed.

I often ride down the street with my volt meter alligator clipped to the pack or one suspect battery. A suspect battery will really show its colors pulling out of a tunnel. The problem is I need to get out of the cart, clip the meter into another battery to compare.

What I need is a nine voltmeter panel, can view up to eight batteries and the pack total at once
