You might want to check the calibration on that one, Shawn -- as originally
set up, it only shows green above 12.5 volts, which is practically a full
charge.  The adjustment is the little pot on the LED board -- you can
adjust the trip point of the green LED, and the others are a constant ratio
from the green.

Or maybe you just don't use electric lights etc when camping?
