While various government agencies have deemed I have an unusual capacity to learn specific disciplines, it was also determined that I was a barely functioning idiot in others. So please bare with me. 

My need to know is simple: My GMC motor home can tell me the potential of her (Rocinante's) batteries, at least as I am able to understand her meter. I 'assume' the colors indicate the 'potential' of her batteries. I again 'assume' this is translated as volts. I am having an issue with 'amps'. In my mind, I witness amps as the degree of which 'potential is being realized. Sounds like the begging of the Cosmos to me. I bet there are some real simple terms for all this.  

 I do have an analog meter that measures in increments other than 12V, like 10 to 50V. The rest I have to guess. The $1.00 hydrometer, made in China, I purchased from Wal-Mart, measures all my batteries the same, dead or alive. 

I am in need of a digital device that can measure the potential in my marine battery, used for my C-PAP machine, in case of power failure. It has been used one time in four years, other than testing. I am using a Radio Shack 350W
 inverter on a C-PAP machine requiring 1.7A. coupled with a 115 Amp Hour, 160 reserve capacity deep cycle battery.

Budget is a consideration. Might be cheaper to haul it to Wal-Mart for evaluation. I'd just like to be able to do it myself. 

All data greatly appreciated.  trickstermeister@gmail.com
