I did this year's ago when I first saw the ad with this voltmeter in a glass of water, happily doing its thing. I carved a mount out of a block of aluminum and used clamps around the risers to mount it. I don't like bright dash lights and this is not lighted so I used an aviation post light wired to the instrument lights. It is surprisingly water resistant. It's connected to the battery through a breaker and is always on . It draws negligible power so when I walk by , I can see if it's time for a charge.

  I have a similar one, I thought of putting it in a small box with a momentary switch so its not distracting.  Of course I didn't get a round toit.

There was a recent thread here about voltmeters, got me thinking about putting one on and found this:

PO had installed a lighter outlet on LH fork on a bracket ( who uses these now?) plug and play as was already wired to battery.
USB A, USB C smart 3.0, and an on- off switch so no power draw.
$13. Only down side so far is that the LED blanks out when the driving lights are on for some reason.
its not the end of the world...but you can see it from here!
