   My wiring loom starts at the battery box and goes back to where the wiring enters the floor by the fuse box.  I opened the loom and laid the wire inside then used good quality cable ties to keep the loom closed.

Yesterday, I installed two 12v group 27 AGM deep cycle batteries to replace the two group 27 12v "RV" batteries that came with the Pod.  I chose FullRiver DC105-12 batteries.

I keep them charged with a 100W solar panel.

	I read you wish to have your meter inside and easy to see. That's fine. Once you get used to what you use and how to extend your available power, you'll find you're not check it as much, or at least I found that. I placed my meter at the battery. My controller I placed on the back of my solar panel with another of those meters. Between the two it gave me input and usage to reference. I'd probably not place the second meter on the panel again, yet it was fun to see what a day could produce in real life. I like the cumulative meters and reset them before embarking on the next journey. Now, I mainly watch voltage and have a decent clue of what SOC is. I have one for lithium as well if another so desires.
