How much of a difference does it make to attach it to the amp rather than the battery? Like a couple decimals or a couple volts? That's something Ive been wondering about for a little while.

well, if the difference was a couple volts, you are either running 2 electrical systems(a 12v and a 14v system), or you are in deep shit with a bunch of resistance. Usually change is a few tenths on the volt meter, but still, you want it to be as accurate as possible, so put it on the amp.

Alright. That's what I was looking for. I figured it wouldn't make a huge difference, but was just wanting to make sure. Thanks!

Really... if its anything but analog.. fuck.. put it to your cig lighter... You wont notice it...

If you have a Vm1, hook it straight to what you wanna monitor.

I have 2, one for my alt, and alt only, and one for my back battery bank/AMP lead...

I wanna know BOTH...

If you have the "other" brand, well shit, you wont be knowing what you think you know....

Just me.....

Fuse the power wire on the meter, it could get pinched and cause a short.
