Hi list,
A volt meter is by definition, a high resistance device since it sits
directly across the battery terminals.
A fuse is not necessary but care in connecting the meter is.
If it is connected at all times, it will show the voltage dip on
startup and recovery when the charging system kicks in.
My Electrical training showing here.
Due to the extremely small current draw, it is quite acceptable to
have this gauge connected at all times.
I have a digital voltmeter/clock doing this very function.
Regards,
