How do people test the charge of their sealed lead acid batteries? I'm after a simple indicator of percentage charge such that I can stop using it before I suck it dry causing damage.

The best I've been recommended is a multi-metre to measure the volts and get to know what's full and what's empty. I'm looking for a neater, more user friendly solution.

I use several different batteries, switching between them as required.

Thanks,
Roger.
