A voltmeter actually shows more information than the ammeter, and is also safer to wire insince it takes no current and this allows the use of a small (1A or less) fuse.

Very true and also amp meter connections create problems. I plan on doing away with my amp meter and replace with volt meter. I would bet the meter in my car is not calibrated and just to show a charge or discharge. With the battery disconnect off it still shows a slight discharge. POS and going by by soon. The large spade connectors SPF uses WILL be a problem in the future. Any Ferrari pre 1990 owner who has spent hundreds or thousands of dollars replacing window motors and seeing dim lights should listen up and go to the source of the problem which is those spade connectors. On Ferrari used as a disconnect for the main buss.
