John,
In my opinion, having a voltmeter is like having half the picture. Unless you have both an ammeter and voltmeter you can't tell what's really going on. Your battery can go down to 10.5 or so volts and still be good if your charging system isn't working right and your battery can be bad if you measure 14 volts while the alternator is running BUT almost no current is flowing to it. In my opinion the best gismo out there is a Kisan chargeGuard. It's pricey but you KNOW what's going on with the battery and charging system. You can see one at Kisantech.com
