Telemetry sounds great on the newer radios but for those of us without them it would be better if the ESC had the built in feature. I'd rather have to buy an ESC for $300 than a radio for $3000

Granted. Before having this feature I started following a given procedure for handling my packs.
1) I have red and green pieces of Velcro that I attach to a pack after I charge it (green) and after it is flown (red)
2) after flying I put the flown pack back into the storage case I use with the wires pointing the opposite direction from the fresh packs
3) If I have any doubts, I quickly check the voltage using the device I linked to above. If the pack is not at 98% or better, I do not fly it
So far these measures have proven to be very effective. I have never used an uncharged pack.
