A fully charged 12 volt battery measures about 12.6v. At about 12.1v it is half discharged. You can buy a small dc voltmeter on Amazon that you connect to the battery or any place you have a 12 volt light or receptacle for less than $20. Just make sure you check the voltage when the batteries aren’t being used to power much of anything.
On an Interstate, you don't need to buy a separate meter. The battery voltage for both the house and the chassis batteries is available with a button push on the tank monitor panel
