Strange fluctuating voltage readings

Nice idea, but if a light is warranted, I would rather have a "warning" light than an "it's OK" light.

I still prefer gauges, though, either analog or digital, depending on what I am monitoring.

Of course I have a onboard voltage meter on bars, but all these things are made on China so I have little faith though it has lasted 4 years. A Warning light won't "warn" if it's wiring has become somehow disconnected. If my light goes out, i can investigate.

I have a VDO 45 degree sweep volt meter to match a 270 degree sweep oil pressure gauge. However the analog Volts gauge doesn't really have the same resolution as a cheap digital model for sensing the subtleties of the charging system. Ebay abounds with cheap LED Volt meters which from my experience are pretty accurate; certainly better than analog.
