The answer is yes. I use the Hanger 9 Digital Variable Load Voltmeter. Just plug it into the plane's charging jack at the field, take a quick reading and you're done.
The instructions that I received with a 2-cell Li-Ion battery say stop flying when the voltage under load is 6.9v to 7.0v. At 6.8v under load the battery has no power left.
