Ryland is right: PakTrakr is a no-muss, no-fuss gauge that's pretty good. If I had a few bucks, I'd get one.

The gauge in the video is still in the car and used regularly. It's the most important instrument in the car, particularly if (a) you're running older, saggy batteries, or (b) if you regularly draw your pack voltage down pretty low.

The parts list for building the gauge can be found here: EV Weblog: LED Bargraph battery monitor part 2
