No problem !
I too can't figure out how a ''Voltwatch'' type voltage monitor device or telemetry can be dependable using LiFe packs. If someone is depending on them to monitor the ''voltage'' for flight time /duration time before recharging then they may be in for a rude awakening whe the packs capacity plummets ! Better off to set a baseline on your plane and pack and just don't go beyond it.
As noted above, real time telemetry might be of secondary value to the monitoring you outline. My guess is that a 6.4v warning will still be too close for comfort to the end of capacity but if it happens at a point with enough capacity to get on the ground... then it will be of secondary value.
