when doing a 12 volt conversion , cant you use a volt meter instead of a amp meter? i'd rather no that my battery is charging with 14 volts than worrying about how many amps i have.

These are in my truck. Built the green one into the bottom of the ash tray. It is on Ebay and is cheep enough. Very acurate down to a tenth of a volt. You can leave it on 24/7 and nothing is bothered. They come in several colors but I have found the green is the best. Day and night you can see it clear as a bell. Look on Ebay. Number 122063408950. Then select color and how many. There are all kinds to look at but this type has worked very nicely. By the way, do not get the one with a bunch of leds around the edge to make an analog sweep. You can't see it in the day time.

I use a volt meter on everything. I like it because when I turn the switch on I know the charge status of my battery. Then when I start it shows the charging system is working.

Yes, that is fine.

You will need to connect the wires together that went through the old volt meter, you can run a wire off that junction to the + side of the new voltmeter and ground the -

I want to correct my statement, power the voltmeter after the ignition switch so it does not load the battery when not in use.
