Mora, a simple volt meter would work then, the fancy battery meters monitor each battery to tell you if one is lagging behind, or if the whole pack is out of balance, having this information is good because it allows you to save a battery while you still can, it also allows you to see the whole pack health.
with my paktrakr gauge I learned that I had a bad connection that was limiting my range and causing half my pack to reach a full charge while the other half was only half charged, if I had let this go my whole battery pack would have had to be replaced sooner.
