I use the National Luna...simple, accurate, easy to read and cheap, has an audio alert and has survived drink poured all over it.

I bought a digital panel meter (that can be powered from the battery it is measuring) off eBay out of Hong Kong and wired that in. $10 all up (incl shipping and the bits I needed to provide here).

I've seen an Autron dual battery gauge in a D4 . It looked like it was a factory item.

I put a Mudpod in my D1 and used a couple of basic Speco Volt Meters which I got off ebay (Speco Meter Voltmeter 8-16 Volts Black Dial / Bezel | eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Speco-Meter-Voltmeter-8-16-Volts-Black-Dial-Bezel-/190495508605?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c5a6ac87d#ht_3275wt_914)). I paid about $30 for each meter, which was the cheapest option I could find.

Fitting the meters told me my deep cycle battery was goosed!! (you can see the 10 volts it was holding on the meter below).
I wired the main battery through an aux live (only when ignition is on), but now considering a permanent live as the meter shows nothing when the starter is cranking. I already have a switch to isolate the meters so they don't drain the batteries, but their draw is very low, so not a big deal.

I did consider an ABR digital meter (DUAL BATTERY SYSTEM MONITOR 12V VOLT METER ABR - NEW | eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DUAL-BATTERY-SYSTEM-MONITOR-12V-VOLT-METER-ABR-NEW-/390308153096?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5ae02dc708#ht_2574wt_881)) , which are also fairly good value for money, but would have needed more fiddling to mount nicely in the mudpod.

The Autron's are really nice! :cool:
I thought the $160 price tag was a little rich for my D1, but would consider one for the D3. Where was it mounted in the D4?

In my Defe I installed a Mud console with 2 VDO volts gauges, one for each battery.
