I have a paktrakr gauge on my commuta-car and it will give me a state of charge in percentage, along with battery pack voltage and voltage of each battery on it's own because your mileage will vary and over discharging your batteries will shorten their life and that can only be figured by battery voltage.

wow! you know your stuff...thanks very much, I'll bring you up to date once I get things going. the gel cells are just a stop gap power source, until I know everything works. The car now runs but won't stop! ( no brakes!) I hope they just need bleeding? Can the brake master reservoir be accessed through the L/H headlight hole?
Do you still recommend using the Trojan 6v cells...it's a $2000 investment for me, so I'd appreciate any comments on that? I have to go with batteries available locally, as any 'deals' are no longer deals when shipping and duty is paid, so unfortunately, nothing out of the US.
I'm in Victoria British Columbia, Canada
