The answer occurred to me a few weeks ago, so I ordered one of these direct from some factory in China:
The cost was just £3.17 (delivered to my house) and it just slipped into the 12v socket I'd fitted last year. It works perfectly well, solves the problem of monitoring the battery completely and I think fits in quite well with the RB's character.

Nice addition Alan, be aware though the calibration sometimes leaves something to be desired. Does it have any USB sockets built in?
