So I don't plan on adding a light kit, really ever... last night I filled the control panel light switch cutout by installing this handy panel mount voltmeter from amazon:

I made up a Y splice for the 1/4" spades that power the hour meter and the new meter dropped right in, switched with the ignition just like the hour meter. Also it is plenty bright enough to serve as an ignition pilot light, hopefully lessening accidental "left the switch on, now have 500 extra hours" issues:

And under the weather boot there are two USB ports for up to 4.2A output ;)

Who doesn't need high power dual USB charging while on their mower? :cool2:

How ironic, just yesterday I was contemplating basically doing the same thing on my Raptor Flip-Up.

I was planning on maybe installing this item. https://www.etrailer.com/Battery-Chargers/CTEK-Power-Inc/CTEK56380.html

Also has the capability of even allowing you to charge the battery (with one of their battery chargers) without actually having to hook up directly to the battery if one did not want to. https://www.etrailer.com/faq-ctek-battery-charger-overview.aspx

I installed a panel mount 12V power outlet just forward of the fuel filler on the left side, I use it to connect my battery tender.

Very cool install.

What brand/model, manufacturer, etc. is that particular one that you installed?

Where did you buy it from?
