Unless you have a very long distance of cable between your SOLAR controller and battery you will see no difference in voltage on your meters or at the batteries. A voltage drop occurs when there is a load on the circuit and if wired properly, there is no load on the cables between the SOLAR charge controller and the batteries.
If you happen to purchase a Digital Voltage Display, that also needs to be run directly to the batteries. If they are hooked up the TT's 12Volt charge controller (or any other 12Volt source), that will give you different readings as there are loads on that feed.
You also want a SOLAR charge controller that has battery temperature sensor as the temperature of the battery plays an important part of proper deep cycle battery charging.
