Monitoring Batteries

Is there a way to monitor EACH battery. Not each bank of battries? I'd like to be able to flip a switch and check each battery voltage? Is that possible? I have four 6 volt house batteeries tied together. and 2two 12 volt truck batteries for the chassis. Appreciate any suggestions or recomendations. Is it possible?

Each battery bank is tied together you would have to disconnect each cable, to read a individual battery, even with a meter.

Sure, no problem.

Run one lead from negative post of the battery bank to the negative contact post of a volt meter.

Now do the same with the positive post of each individual battery, but going through either a rotary switch, or momentary switch(s) between battery bank and meter.
