Testing it on my battery charger (13.6 volts), it sits to the far right of
the green.  While driving it is in the first 1/3 of the green.

Works great but the night lighting color does not match.\

        Interesting gauge.   I would want to verify the voltage to needle
position.

I installed a Sun voltage gage just under the dash on the left.  Mostly
needed it when I was having problems with the generator system.   I don't
need it with the alternator system but I got use to seeing it there.

I found a Jaeger batt gauge (made in France) on ebay and Tigerfied it.  The
black bezel was crimped on and had to be removed.  Needle was painted and
the chrome bezel installed.  The case too some grinding to get it down to a
size that the chrome bezel would fit.

Ebay auction -

Looking forward to getting installed.  I am very happy to be rid of the Amp
meter with its mile of fire possibility wire.

BTW - the gauge was shipped from Greece with no problems.
