The fuel gauges are notoriously inaccurate and typically read low. The resistance of the internal resistor goes up over the years. Trust your volt meter.

This is my 1st time charging my new batteries on my C-185 Wheel Horse tractor. Batteries are full of water. My hand held Volt meter reads 40 volts but my gauge on the tractor says 3/4 full. Should I continue charging( Too what voltage) or change the gauge?
