Some of the EVDL Yodas say you really need two - one for batt amps, the other for motor amps. Because you need to know batt amps to keep from killing them, and motor amps to keep from killing it.

Whaaa?? I just spent $25 and I need to get ANOTHER one???
And here I've gone close to 3 weeks without ANY gauge whatsoever
I have been thinking about it and I kind of had a feeling that I would need both because a) I'm running a motor WAY to small for a conversion b) I'm running batteries WAY unfit for the stress I put them through. If I cheap-out on the motor and batteries, the least I could do is to take extra precautions to make sure I don't abuse them. Another way of looking at it is that EVEN at 2 ammeters and 7 total volt meters (1 pack, 1 for each battery) I'd STILL be under the price of just ONE new battery! I think that having a TPS that limits me to a max of 1970 Ohms is a blessing in disguise as it keeps me from frying stuff.....
