By adding a DC to DC Boost Buck Converter Step Down Up Regulated Power Module you could feed this regulator with the cars 6 volt output and then adjust the regulated power module so the output feed will be 12 volts. Now when the car is running the 6 volts will show 12 volt on the gauge When you see the reading is 12 volt you know the car is charging. These regulated power supply's are easy to find on Ebay and most of them are less than $20.00 with free shipping.

Please educate me on how that will work ??
A step up or step down regulator have a fixed output voltage...not like it is proportional to the input...
