The Blue Sea Systems 8015 DC Analog Voltmeter Panel covers 8V to 16V with a three-position selector switch, in a 0.125-inch 5052 aluminum panel.
An analog needle rather than a digital readout is the choice here, and it suits a different kind of checking. A needle position registers at a glance without reading numbers, so a bank sitting where it usually sits looks right immediately and one that has moved is obvious. Digital displays need to be read.
The three-position selector lets one meter monitor multiple banks instead of a separate gauge for each. That suits a boat with starting, house and auxiliary batteries where a quick manual comparison between them is what is wanted.
There is no menu navigation and nothing to configure, which is part of the appeal on a boat where simplicity is worth more than precision. The meter is mounted in heavy 0.125-inch 5052 aluminum for a finished marine installation. Explore more marine electrical meters.
