What are people using to replace the lead acid SOC meter for lithium ion battery packs?

I have used these several times, not perfectly accurate but quick and easy.

Nice find.  
Easier to cut a round hole than a square one for one of those other meters.  
Not perfectly accurate? How easy is it to screw up a voltmeter? I guess for $7 you can’t be too picky.  
Interesting that out of 7 sample pics not one of them shows it actually lit up.

They are quite bright actually. They are off by about .5v (sometimes. lol) maybe a little higher at 98v.  
Having a round mounting hole is awesome!!

I connect positive to the switched side of the contactor and negative to B-. That way it pop on when the contactor closes and off when the contactor opens.
