Great thread and info posts! As someone with the electrical/electronic "knowledge" of only being able to change out/charge a battery and plug in a cord,
I am reading closely, but it is a struggle.

Penquin's post above on monitoring voltage is apt: my Vette has a "volt gauge" dial and I can also put up the numerical readout in its very complete digital
readout section of the dashboard; my "volts" read as low as 12.9 to 14.8 ish, depending on start up, cruise, did I have the Tender on it, etc. I view it occasionally,
scrolling through all the "readouts" the Vette dash provides, but I don't give it much thought and it is not really a concern to my mind.

So, I agree on what a gauge or readout would really "offer" for the electrical non-intelligentsia, of which I am a member.
Great Thread!
