Could you make a vid on how to 48v system are wired into a plug where I can plug an ext cord into it for charging.

I've got an LED meter, it has a positive, negative, and signal terminal. it lights up when i plug the + and - into the battery. So all i would need to do is wire the Signal terminal to the key switch? In my mind it makes more sense to plug one of the + or - terminals on the meter to the key switch.

do you have part numbers for these battery meters and where they can be purchased ?

i have 3 optima battterys in the back of my car to power my amp and 1 bad stock battery but i only have 1 alt. The problem is that i've heard that it is not good to have a stock battery connected to the better high quality batteries, how can i fix this? Charging the batteries in the back without connecting them to the bad stock battery with 1 alternator?

You have one of the polarities wrong somewhere. Check them. If not it might be from the voltage if it is in series(it is completing the connection) or there is something wrong somewhere else.
