Normally though I just use from main just to show alt is working, ie, 13.5 volts and up dep on load etc.
If you want a volt meter, there is a Volt meter and in/out digital temp thing from jaycar that I brought and it seems to work pretty well. I also put a switch on the power lead so it does left and right batt's.
with the volt meter ,just make sure it is accurate.Ive tried 2 and they dont seem to be accurate,i have checked my multimeter against a few others so it seems the voltmeters i purchased are out.
If you get a temp gauge make sure you get a mechanical one.so much more accurate
go for a vacum gauge that way you can keep an eye on the vac to see if you have any leaks i have one it sits rite up the top of the gauge and if you come out in the morning and its down you know there is a leak some were
