What kind of gauges do you guys run? I'm thinking of an Amp and temperature gauge. Also, what kind of temperatures should my dry cell run at?

Now and then Harbor Frieght will have some 40 amp ampmeter cheap or you can get one from any automotive store who carries them that's what I have on my F-150. As far, as a temp guage I don't have one install. the temp of your cell should not reach above 120 degree after 3 hours of running. If it reaches that temp in short amount of time, you will experience thermo runaway and have a mess on your hands (have lots of vinegar) on hand specially if you are using KOH.

Right you are, Ben. My 50A ammeter from Harbor Freight was $7 :D
