Default Using an expanded scale voltmeter

I just picked up a Hobbico Expanded scale voltmeter. I've had a couple of battery issues and want to be able to test with a load.
This meter has no load switch so it must always apply a " Simulated 225 - 275mAh servo load"

What procedure do you go through to check your batteries before and during your flying day?

I also have a voltwatch on the plane but the batteries are pretty important :-) so I dont want to take any chances.

How low in the green would you still fly? I assume the gap between the red and the green is no mans land? fly there at your own risk?



Thanks

Steve
