Battery Monitors
#1

So I decided I wanted to be able to quickly check my battery levels in the engine compartment area. So I got a couple of inexpensive battery monitors. Added them and tapped them right into the terminal strip, there are terminals for the chassis battery and for the house battery.

So the chassis batteries are only charged occasionally by the Blue Sea automatic charge relay, it helps to keep from boiling them. Its not currently connected and it has a slight draw on, maybe 0.3 amps. The house batteries are being actively charged.  

Here is the Blue Sea ACR I am using:
