battery monitor for AGM battery?

[tored1971]

Where can I get a battery monitor for my 16" Bass Tracker pro deep V.
I would like to be able to see how much juice I have left when I am using the trolling motor on the lake. I have 2 Cabelas AGM batteries that I would like to hook up a battery monitor.

Thanks, Phil

Measure the voltage with a meter. A battery monitor is just a fancy name for a voltmeter.

Don't let it get down below 12V which is around 50% capacity.

+1 on the voltmeter.

Buy a digital voltmeter that plugs into a cigarette lighter and a cigarette lighter power recepticle from Walmart. Total cost @ $30 and you are set. Additionally, you can use the recepticle for a spot light for night fishing.

ps don't for get to put a fuse in the line.
