Default Lipo low volt indicator

Hi guys,

I run a 2 cell Lipo pack and have seen many post worried about running below 3 volts per cell.

So I have thought of an answer for very little £ / $:

Just solder a 6v zener diode and an LED across the battery lead (LED cathode to negative, LED anode to zener anode, zener cathode to positive supply).

The LED will be illuminated until the voltage drops below 6.3v (due to operating voltage of LED).

Total cost £0.30
