Looking for the best quality digital volt guage for the panel I'm having built..

any brand in particular, or did you just snag one off ebay? :)
This is the best volt gauge I’ve ever found. I like it because it’s very accurate and super clear without the glare all others seem to have at night. You can even read it in extreme sunlight or angles and has a smooth delay on reading so it doesn’t continuously bounce around.
They are pricey though. I’ve bought many and even if one isn’t super accurate it’ll always read the same so they will all give you good idea where it’s at once used for a bit. I don’t think they very over .2ish volts.

You're too dam slow. :)

I ordered a couple off Amazon here about an hour ago. I want my panel done.. He didn't have any small digital gauges in stock, so I sent 'em to him.

Unlike my Viking, this panel is easy to get to from the backside. If I find these are crappy, they'll be easy to switch out.

Absolutely! I didn’t say I’d buy again because they are pricey, the others do the job just fine. I’ve got both and my only b**** is the bouncy glare at night most have, but we spend more time at night riding then day usually

yea, see we're just the opposite. We rarely night ride. I think it'd be a kick for sure though!

I'm usually the guy that seeks out quality first, but right now I just need my panel done quick. I need to get it in there before I have the winch installed...& I'm getting that done at my first service, which should be done soon..:confused:

I used the Mictuning ones from amazon.
I had a red one which is hard to read in bright daylight so I switched to green which works good

I think that's the brand I got too. I also got red, since that's the trim color on the LE. If I cant read 'em, I'll get a different color.
