Battery monitor mod

I dry camp/boon dock a lot and I always had to use my millimeter to check my battery voltage to prevent from draining the battery bank down bellow 12.2V. 12.2V is what flooded batteries read when they're down to 50%. 50% is the lowest you should pull on your batteries to make them last longer. Once down to 50% you should stop pulling from the batteries or charge them.

I bought this cool battery monitor that shows voltage but also has an adjustable alarm to sound when you reach that set point. When the alarm goes off, you know it's time to run the generator to charge the batteries back up.

I bought it here https://bestconverter.3dcartstores.com/Voltminder_c_107.html

Comes with a cigarette lighter plug or you can cut it and hardwire it.

I haven't found a good location to mount it yet, I'll post a picture once I do.
