I have a dual battery setup (supplied&installed by ARB). I have purchase two volt gauges to monitor the condition of these batteries. Unfortunately the instructions are a little technical for me.

Can someone describe to me in plain English how to wire each gauge

Wont be a problem to help you wire up, once you tell us what gauges they are. Or photos of them.

Usually all it would take is running a wire from the positive of one battery to one of the positive connections on the gauge. And then negative to the negative. That's as simple as it gets.

With that however they will always be on, and will flatten your battery over time. Best to power the one for your main battery gauge from the accessories bus, somewhere like the cd player or some 12v socket/ cigarette lighters are usually the easiest places to pick that up from.
