RE: amp guage or volt meter

We have both an Amp and Volt for both AC and DC.* I tend to use the amp gauge for than the volt as we tend to push the amp demand to the max being a live aboard.* A volt can tell you the amps and/or condition of your battery by the voltage reading.* How do you think we did be for all the expensive/fancy meters?* The volt metter has three separate reading* for the three battery banks, house, 671 start and gen set start.
