ok so went looking for a voltage meter for my car and discovered that the arb/tjm/whatever brand were way overpriced so out the window went that idea and in with my new idea.
went into jaycar and managed to find myself a digital dc voltage display and since i have 2 batteries i picked up a 3 way momentary on switch(on/off/on)
total project cost: $18 monitor, $12 switch. 30$ total ($50 with cable)
and so began my installation.
roughed in cable to both battery actives and a neutral/ground to the chassis and terminated
active from the moniter to the commen
and each active from the batteries to either side and ground to ground.
note: i have an rx model so monitor was installed where the power window should go.
since i only had twin i picked up from work the white acted as my neutral.
p.s. i know my cutting was a bit wonkey but oh well.
