Les, I think the one you see around here mostly is the one from
Expert. They sell it in 4.8v and 6v versions.

Sheldon also sells the BC6, which really looks to be useful. I
bought one to try out this season. The BC6 includes a glitch counter
and (importantly) gives an indication of the lowest voltage during
the period your plane has been powered up. With the Expert voltage
indicator, I just wiggle all my servos (which puts a load on the
battery) and watch the blinky lights. If they go below a certain
level, I recharge. But the BC6 provides a much more meaningful
display because it enables you to see the lowest voltage during
actual flight. I think that many people would be alarmed to learn
how low voltage can spike on a molded ship equipped with digital
servos being powered by a 4-cell AA pack.

meters to indicate your on-board battery status (under load).
Correct? I haven't seen such small ones....where did anyone find
them?
