Dual battery volt gauge available in the UK

Hey forumites.

I am after a 52mm dual battery volt gauge for my new Mud Pod. Ideally what I would like is a black analogue gauge but I would consider a stacked bar style. Prefer analogue but a digital gauge would do.

Does anyone know of such a thing available in the UK?

I know you can get them in Australia from the likes of SAAS or Redarc or Topo.

Failing this I will go to Plan B which is a single sweep gauge and a changeover switch.

The reason for not fitting a battery monitor like the Victron BMV-712 is that they have a gauge bezel diameter of 63mm and the Mud Pod has a 60mm space before the lip of the pod. Which is a bit irritating.

Just an update.

The Redarc gauge is not available in the UK or Europe as it does not meet product standards...

Thanks John. I saw that as well. Lovely gauge I am just not sure that I could face having a VW component in Miffy

Good to know the EU is looktafter us. Would not want to accidentally buy a dangerous voltmeter...

Also reassuring to know that everything coming out of these containers from China has been inspected and tested..

It is an utterly utterly ludicrous situation

You use a regular single volt meter and add in your own switching to select which battery is read. A SPDT switch would do it.
