Subject:Battery condition indicators
From:Jack R.

After hooking up an aux battery to my 84 Westy, the on-board battery
condition indicator now reflects the condition of the Aux battery only.
which is to be expected, since that battery now serves the fridge.

I also hooked up a float charger to the aux battery, so when I have shore
power, it recharges without taxing the alternator.

I am considering hooking up a second battery condition indicator, and
secondary float charger for the main battery, and wondered if anyone had a
recommended solution.

I picked up this indicator from Harbor Freight. only $5!
