| In the 4wd Action New products, Projecta have released a handy looking dual battery monitor which actually displays a voltage. Just what i have been looking for. $179

| I've got the Piranha one and all it has is lights pretty ordinary really. Although it has a wire that you can run fridge etc through it and has automatic cutout for battery protection but not worth what I paid for it. | |

| I think I will try one of these. If it's any good, I'll need another for the Cruiser. The GQ is the work truck so it's the first one | |
