Default Digital meter for dash

My carts only have the analog voltage meter in dash that looks like a gas gauge. Although not digital, I know where on the meter 48 volts is. Reading another thread I believe dgammon6 just bought this meter which I hope to check out in the near future:

One thing I wish to clarify about this thread. It is not my intent to make a case for electric carts. I use electric carts for my own reasons and LOVE them. I understand why some people prefer gas and have no desire to change their minds. On the other side of that, I do not wish to scare people away from electric carts. I hope that my writing about volts and state of charge does not make it sound like taking care of an electric cart is a full time job or "rocket science", it is not. I am simply sharing details as I learn them, some could be flawed and I hope others will share differing opinions so I continue to learn. I could take a thread like this to buggies<wherever>.com, but it is more fun here in TOTV as we cart owners in The Villages use electric golf carts like no where else I know.
