Hello again, I would like to ask for help about designing my battery monitor on our project. I have searched on the net and I have seen others using LM3914 I.C.. I've seen also battery monitor made from LM324.

Would this circuit having LM324 be enough for battery monitoring or LM3914 is better? Our project is a mobile car and it should have a battery monitor on it. We are planning to use 4 rechargeable AA batteries to power the circuit and at the same time power the motors. We will be connecting the battery monitor to the batteries then the indicator wire will be connected to one of the PIC's pins. If you have any other suggestions I would be glad to know them.
