I am looking for a lead/acid charging and maintenance module. Currently I'm using this:

But would welcome recommendations if you've found anything that gives better indication of what the state of charge is please.
It has a single led that illuminates when fast charging, but when there's no light, it might be dead or float charging.

I'm not sure what the perfect answer is.

The module you have their looks interesting.

I've added some ammeter voltmeter combo's to my solar 12V charging like these:

Obviously there's a bit of current draw at night, unless you add a switch to turn the meter off.
But knowing the volts and current saves a lot of interpretation.
