What are you trying to accomplish with the VOLT gauge. It will not  
tell you anything more that you already have with a Amp gauge.
The amp gauge is like a on / off gauge. It will tell you immediatly  
if there is a no charging situation
The volt gauge is like a fuel gauge it tells you the capacity of  
battery and when it gets low its to late.
