volts and amp gauges

[Sideoftheroad]

Would there be any advantage to having both a volt and amp gauge?

 

If not, which would be better to have?

Here is a very similar thread from last week.

My preference would be a digital voltage gauge.

 

Amps don't tell you a whole lot about electrical system health. It is just an indication of current flow at the particular point in the system that the gauge was inserted at.

 

Readings will vary at any given time depending on accessories running.

 

You cannot run starter current through 99% of available gauges, so it has to be installed after starter motor circuit.

 

Amp gauge somewhat more involved install.

I use a digital volt meter and an anilog ammeter.

I would like to have both, but I am a geek for data....
