The wiring is a bit messy as I originally had only one deep-cycle and one normal SLA battery in the box - I tried to keep each battery separate originally. The SLA died and got replaced with a second deep-cycle connected in parallel. The cigarette lighter sockets are fused and switched. The meters are more for reference (how much power am I using, how is the voltage) and not absolutely necessary.
