Bought and fitted one of these. Threw it away when it failed a month later!

My experience is quite different. I've used this meter in two gliders starting in 1998. Never a problem. I used black paint for plastic to paint the frames, as the silver color didn't match the panels.

This meter, unlike the meter in your soaring computer or Becker radio, gives "unloaded" battery voltage which I find more useful for assessing battery charge status.
