Oh - and the gauge is not very accurate! It reads .2 volts lower than my multimeter.

No real surprise there (cheap junk!).

It's not really a problem though, since it's pretty consistently .2v low across a range of voltages I tested.

Even so, with this gauge installed, the batteries should enjoy a longer life -- free of battricide! I won't be accidentally over-discharging them.

PS - the gauge can also be disconnected so it's not drawing power when the mower's not being used.
