Would this be applicable for a large deep cycle battery 12V if the right dummy load was used? This exports data to a computer file, in comma delimited txt? Looks great!

The standard Arduino is only able to measure up to 5V. To use this with a 12V battery, you would need to use a voltage divider and adjust the software to compensate but it should work.
