Would this work to monitor voltage during starting?

Yes. That's the "why" part of the thread -- or at least my why. The needle is pretty close to the bottom during cranking, but not resting on the peg.

Batteries last a lot longer up here in the frozen part of the South. But when it quits, I'm hoping to get some better warning next time from the gauge. What brand did you settle on? My last two were the kind Walmart carries - Maxx something. They keep showing up in Consumer's Reports - maybe because those 47's are getting hard to find.

If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
