Default need electronic tech here

Hi Guys I guess I never noticed this before. When I insert my hobbico digital voltmeter
(model MK # 3) to my plane like everyone does. I get a good voltage reading with the meter
in the no load position. 6.45 volts ok... Now, when I try to put a load to it the LED starts
to flicker and the servos try to move and voltage drops bad. Ok Now I go directly to the battery and above 6
volts under load no problem. I tried a different switch and the same result. led goes crazy under load ..

When I insert it to my other plane with no led on the switch I get a proper under load voltage reading

Now I am
sure there is a problem here or not. Has anyone seen this.
Am I not able to get a under load voltage reading with this LED switch?
6 volt NiCad batteries by the way
Please read down more as I did some more testing
Thanks David
