P1000 Dual voltage gauge setup

[Kisssofdeath]

I see where some use the single gauge that displays voltage from both batteries and I see some setups that have a gauge for each battery. Is one way more accurate or reliable over the other or is it a matter of person preference?

Should be zero difference in accuracy. It's personal preference.

When they fist came out with the True kits that a lot of us have they came with two meters , few years later they changed to the one meter.

Accuracy? Quality? Water resistant?
They work ok.
There are better dual gauges available now outside of the Azon guage, most of us have.
About 36 bucks.

Welcome to the club!
I'm pretty sure its more of a personal preference and how you want your switch panel to look/function

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I thought it might have been personal. So far "electrical related" all I have bought is this panel from Professional Bull Riders, some call it PBR. I'm 100% sure I will use this.

For $159 I'll probably get the 5000 lb Badland winch from Harbor Freight.

Here's my week old ride. I'm going to try and not go crazy with mods like I did with my P650.

Here is my long gone old ride. Photos were taken several years back right before selling it.

My dual voltage gauge might as well be off in the daylight, I can't read it at all.

The Blue Sea voltage gauges are made for day or night visibility. They are for marine use but if you get them I added some silicone around where the metal prongs come out the back to keep any water out. Don’t ask how I found this out. Got mine at West Marine.

I have their USB and fuse block. They do make good stuff but I don't think they make a round dual voltage gauge.

I'd like to have this but this place is sold out. Wanted it for the same reason as Formula1 mentioned. Would be happy buying two, even for that price.

I installed a variation of the PBR switch plate that included the cup holders and I recommend drilling the mounting holes slightly larger to accept the Honda plastic push pins, the plate is rock solid and it also makes it easier to take in and out vice the rivets they provide.

As it pertains to the double battery because of the isolator the read out it pretty good and I installed a seperate dual read out gage because the one that came with my plate was a single and it seems to work really well.

Check out my thread "So it Begins..." because I have added alot and there is so much more that could be added, good luck not moding its so hard not to.

Also welcome to the club.

Here is my setup. I used 2 separate gauges as I had 2 round holes in my PBR plate which is similar to OP picture.

Just curious
What switches are you running relays on?

I got two of mine from 50 caliber racing, or something like that. The winch switch I'm looking to replace but can't find one I like under $40.

I believe I have separate relays for the light bar and side lights. I installed a stinger and separate fuse panel to run all the accessories through with second battery.

I’ve done the second battery,fuse panel, stinger and on off on switch install (THANKS TO THIS AWSOME SITE),I ran two led,48watt cubes in the back and wondering if I need to put them on a relay. I have them wired to my fuse panel now.

Yeah IP67 rated for the front only. They assume you are mounting it in a boat dash where it will get splash from the face. You have to seal the back.

If I remember correctly all the led lights that I bought from the Hondasxs store here all came with relays.
