RE: Using an expanded scale voltmeter
If you have voltwatch, perhaps it would be prudent to "measure" with both devices and compare what you get. Although the voltwatch does not give you a meter-like reading, you can compare green to green, yellow to your "no-mans land" and of course, red to red.
I see the voltmeter you have there has 4.9 and 9.6. The voltmeter should have a switch for RXbattery pack you are measuring too.. 4.8 / 6 volts.
Yours does not appear to be able to measure 6 volt packs.
