Hobbico Volt Watch on 6 Volt RX pack
I inadvertantly installed a earlier version Hobbico Volt Watch rated for 4.8 Volt operation on my plane that has a 6 Volt RX Pack; unfortunately I mounted it inside the cockpit and sealed in with the canopy; the green LED lights indicating full voltage when power is switched on, what can I expect from the Volt watch now; I would suspect that because it is 6 volts and not 4.8 it will pretty much always show full charge? any adverse effect on the RX or RX battery from operating this unit?

No,
I wouild recommend that when your second or third green light comes on, then you need to recharge. I have a chart showing the voltages of each LED. It was done by Red a few years back.
